A very late season storm system produced heavy wet snow across much of northern Illinois, along with a winter mix of rain, sleet and snow over northwestern Indiana on Sunday April 14. As much as 6 to 8 inches of snow were reported in a narrow corridor from DeKalb County into the far northwest suburbs of Chicago. Lighter amounts of 2 to 5 inches were common elsewhere across northern Illinois. A total of 5.4 inches was reported at Chicago (O'Hare Airport) for the day. This was a daily snowfall record for April 14. Additionally, it ranks as the second latest date in the season with daily snowfall amounts exceeding 5 inches in Chicago. Only April 16th of 1961 was a later date with snowfall amounts also reaching 5.4 inches. In Rockford a total of 2.9 inches was reported for the day. This was not a record daily snowfall for Rockford. However, this ranks as the 5th snowiest event this late in the season in Rockford's history. |
