10:25am Update: Moderate snow continues to fall across the Stateline, but is slowly clearing from northwest to southeast.  The snow will fall through 1pm with areas east of I-39 seeing the snow continue into the afternoon.  Strong southwest winds may help keep the roads slick through the evening commute.

8:35am Update: The heaviest of the snow will remain on either side of the Wisconsin/Illinois border through late morning before winding down by the afternoon.  Areas along and north of Highway 20 will see the heavier amounts through the morning. 








7:20am Update: A band of moderate snow continues to fall just north of Highway 20 and will sink southeast through mid to late morning.  The heavier snow bands will drop visibility to less than a mile through the morning before diminishing by the afternoon. 






A few bursts of heavier snow fell earlier this morning and while we've got a little break, additional snow will move in from the west through 10am.  With the snow that has fallen, Rockford and Capron are both reporting 0.10" of accumulation.  Total accumulation will range from 0.50" to 1.0" - with amounts closer to 1.0" (or higher) closer to the state line.  Lesser amounts will be found further south of Rockford. 

The heavier bursts of snow caused roadways to quickly become snow covered and slick this morning.  Be careful and allow extra time for travel.  While the snow will end by the afternoon, temperatures will remain below freezing and winds still gusty blowing around what little snow is leftover.
