Where Our March Snow Ranks

It may seem like we saw a lot of snow this March, but in the grand scheme of things, it wasn't as impressive as you might think.

As of Tuesday, Rockford has seen 13.9" of snow for the month of March. On average, March usually sees about 4.8" of the white stuff, making this year much snowier than normal, but 2013 only ranks as the 11th snowiest March on record. Records date back to 1906.

 

And it looks like we'll stay snow-free through the rest of March. With highs in the 50s by this weekend, we're only talking a chance of rain Saturday night and Easter Sunday morning before April officially starts on Monday.
