The Great Rockford Snowpocalypse of... May 22nd? Not Quite.
Ah, May in Illinois. A time for blossoming flowers, cookouts in the park, and... absolutely no snow, whatsoever. Or so we thought. You, dear reader, might be wondering: did Rockford by some miracle (or weather anomaly) get slammed with a surprise snowstorm? Buckle up, because the answer is both suspenseful and anticlimactic (mostly anticlimactic).
How Much Snow Did Rockford Illinois Get In The Last 24 Hours |
Did it Snow in Rockford?
Hold your horses (or should we say, snow horses?) The suspense is killing us too, but according to official weather reports, Rockford experienced nada, zilch, zero snowfall in the last 24 hours. That's right, folks. Not a single snowflake. You can put those parkas away and dust off your flip-flops.
But Wait, There's More (Kind Of)
Now, before you get too excited about the complete lack of snowmageddon, there is a teensy, tiny caveat. If you venture a little outside the city limits, some weather stations did report a trace... trace... of snowfall in the surrounding areas. We're talking about the kind of snowfall that would make a snowman weep. A single snowflake here, a rogue flurry there – that's the extent of Rockford's "snowstorm."
In conclusion, unless your definition of a snowstorm involves opening your umbrella to catch a rogue snowflake, then Rockford most definitely did not experience any snow in the last 24 hours. Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming of sunshine and birdsong.
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
