Get your Rockford driveway and sidewalk shoveled

Rockford is split by the Rock River, with older neighborhoods like Haight Village and Churchill's Grove near downtown and newer subdivisions on the east side toward Cherry Valley. Residents clear the sidewalks along their property as well as their own driveways and alleys, and city code bars pushing or blowing that snow into the street.

Snow, sidewalks and the rules in Rockford

Rockford has cold northern Illinois winters, with clipper systems, occasional larger storms and bitter Arctic outbreaks. Strong winds over the open farmland around the city often cause blowing and drifting snow.

Typical snowfall. Rockford's official station at Chicago Rockford International Airport averages about 37 inches of snow a season (37.1 inches, 1991-2020 normals). Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020 (annual/seasonal).
