Snowfall Totals UPDATE: St. Charles Lead Kane County With 10.0 Inches
Well, if you thought the snow totals the NWS published Monday were a little out of whack, there’s a reason for that: they weren’t the 48-hour totals.
Turns out, if you wanted to know which town got the worst of the blizzard that ended Monday morning, you had to wait a bit for the National Weather Service Chicago to make the call.
In Kane County, St. Charles lead in both the 24-hour snowfall totals and the 48-hour totals statements by the NWS.
St. Charles recorded 10.0 inches in the 48-hour totals. It had posted 8.1 inches in the 24-hour totals.
in Northern Illinois overall, it was Bull Valley in McHenry County, which accumulated 13.1 inches, according to the NWS Chicago.
