Time to start thinking about severe weather season

I know it's hard to think about with snow on the ground but it's that time again.  Severe weather season is right around the corner and spotter training classes have already been scheduled and begin next week!  Spotters are very valuable not only to the National Weather Service but to us at WTVO.  You are our eyes to what is going on in your backyard and the information you relay to us and the weather service is very important.  It actually looks like the February 16th class in Ogle County is out.
