A winter storm moving along the Canadian border brought warm air northward over a shallow layer of cold air over the Middle Mississippi Valley. This created a broad area of light freezing rain, sleet and freezing drizzle over Eastern Iowa, Northeast Missouri and Northwest Illinois. A few snow flurries or patchy light snow mixed with the freezing precipitation at times.  Ice accumulations were light and generally less than a tenth of an inch. However, ground temperatures in the middle and upper 20s allowed for a thin layer of ice to form on many road surfaces. This resulted in hazardous travel. Icy roads forced the cancellation of many schools throughout Washington County.  Numerous accidents were also reported in Jones and Bureau Counties where a heavy glaze of ice made travel treacherous. The main band of freezing rain fell 20 miles either side of an axis from Muscatine Iowa to Princeton Illinois.
