Snow and Cold

Wind Chill Advisory continues for Stephenson, Jo Daviess, Carroll and Whiteside Counties through the Noon hour and will go in to effect for Winnebago, Boone, McHenry, Ogle, Lee, DeKalb, Rock, Green and Walworth Counties tonight. 

However you look at it this morning, it's cold outside! We had a few flurries early this morning but partly sunny skies will continue through the remainder of this afternoon.  Despite all that sunshine highs will struggle to reach the double digits later today with wind chill readings remaining below zero.  The colder weather will continue for the next couple of days before a warm up this weekend.

The current snow cover on the ground will only help keep this chilly weather around as many locations have a snow depth of over a foot.  So far this season we've managed to accumulate 48.5" of snow; our average is 38.7".  What makes this even more interesting is if we pick up just another inch and a half of snow we will have had four winter seasons in a row with 50" or more of snowfall.
