Even though it's mid April, old man winter had one last punch of snow for much of the northern part of Illinois. I went up to the Rochelle Railroad Park and while we were only supposed to get 2-3 inches we ended up getting closer to 8 with the temperatures struggling to get above freezing. It was light at first but got heavier closer to lunch. It was slow on the BNSF side again though normal traffic levels on the Union Pacific side. The snow was gone next day oddly.
