Snow to end this afternoon
SNOW TO END THIS AFTERNOON AFTER 2-LOCALLY 6 INCH TOTALS
The snow arrived right on schedule this morning, beginning across the area around 8 a.m. Just before 1 p.m. a little over two inches had accumulated at Arlington Heights while Frank Wachowski, the Midway observer reported 1.9". The storm is moving out of the area at a fairly rapid pace and it appears that the snow will be ending during the afternoon. The storm's fast departure will limit total snow accumulations putting final amounts in the 2-5" range. The snow has been a bit heavier to the north and west where 3- 4 inches have already accumulated in the Rockford area and a few locations far northwest of the city may wind up with 6 inches.
