February Snowfall Adding Up

We are definitely making up for lost time in the snow department this month.  After adding up what fell from Tuesday afternoon to early Wednesday morning we officially recorded 4.6" at the Chicago/Rockford Int'l Airport.  This makes Tuesday's snowfall not only the largest snow event we've seen so far this winter season, but it also puts us at the 5th snowiest February in Rockford since records began in 1906!  Who would have thought after such a dry and hot summer and mild start to the winter season.  The snow will continue to add up today and tonight with additional totals through today will range between 1"-2", with a few isolated highers amounts north and west.
