While our highs should be in the lower 40s, we will only be in the lower 20s today and then single digits tonight. That's nearly 20 degrees below average. Highs by Friday/Saturday should be briefly back into the upper 30s and lower 40s.
After a few light scattered snow showers and areas of areas of patchy flurries this morning we will see decreasing clouds. Skies should turn partly to mainly clear tonight. Take it slow today as it is still slick in some spots. The good news is that we will warm it up to near 40 degrees going into the weekend.
Some slushy roadways last night to have froze and created some slick spots throughout the Stateline. Winds will be rather breezy today, which will also cause some blowing and drifting snow.
When it was all said and done, the snow from Sunday and yesterday broke numerous records in Rockford. The 11.7" of snow picked up at the Rockford Airport set a daily snowfall record, calendar day snow record, November snowfall record, and the record for the largest November snowstorm.Much of the viewing area picked up around a foot of snow. Mt. Morris, Rochelle and Ashton picked up the most, but there was a sharp cutoff in accumulations throughout northwestern portions of the viewing area.
Not only was it snowy, but also rather windy. Gusts were upwards of 46mph in Rockford, 29mph in DeKalb and 38mph in Rochelle.
