A powerful system brought a messy mix of precipitation to the area over the weekend.
Precipitation started mainly as rain before changing over to freezing drizzle and sleet. Most areas saw between 1-3″ of rain with the heaviest amounts far south. Temperatures generally remained above freezing in most areas until early afternoon Saturday when the transition to a brief period of freezing drizzle and sleet began. Light snow began later in the afternoon and through early Sunday morning in some locations, with some heavier bands mixed in.
Rockford received 1/4″ of ice, with lesser amounts around .04″ in other areas such as Romeoville and Aurora. Snow accumulation was generally less than expected, though varied greatly, with a general range of trace amounts at Morris and Peotone to 2.1″ at Rockford and O’Hare.
There will be very minor chances for light mixed precipitation this week, with another chance of accumulating snow expected to arrive Friday through early Saturday morning.
