Yet again, northern Illinois residents made their way to work or school Friday morning dodging snowflakes as they fell from the sky– the latest of many snow events that have occurred in the region during a seemingly endless season.
Chicago did not officially receive any snowfall from this system, but towns to the west were reporting accumulating snow. Rockford and DeKalb were among the towns that saw snowfall, according to NOAA. If reports are confirmed, this would be the latest in a season that Rockford has received a trace or more of snow. The previous record occurred on May 11, 1966, NOAA said.
