Where's the Snow?!

If you're a fan of the winter weather, or are just hoping for a White Christmas, this blog post probably isn't for you. Rockford is in the midst of one of its longest snow droughts on record.

Data as of 11/27/12

In this case, "snow drought" means no measurable snow. The last time we saw that in Rockford was on March 4th... 268 days ago as of Tuesday.

The current forecast will put us comfortably in fourth place by week's end. We're expecting a warmup close to 60 degrees by the start of next week, and there are zero chances for snow over the next week. We would break the record is we saw no snow through December 17th. Will that happen? We'll have to wait and see.

Chicago is in the middle of their own snow drought... 268 days without measurable snow is their fourth longest drought on record.
