Still a ways to go but it's been very impressive so far. Seeing the best rates of the day right now. Surprisingly large flakes given the strong winds. Snow is still really dense/wet. Yeah its really ripping hard here too, probably some of the hardest of the day along with strong winds. Can't really see across the street lol. Heck of a storm for late November. I'll take one or three of these every year haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 That is such a shweet radar presentation, that I wish this thing could grow, stay all snow and stall for a few days over your region. I can't even begin to imagine, what torrential wet dendrites look like when they are blasted past brilliant streetlights by winds gusting to 45 mph.

donsutherland1 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 It should be noted that with 7.0" snow so far at Rockford, the biggest November snowfall record for Rockford is within reach. The record is 9.5", which was recorded on November 6-7, 1951. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
