One of the most significant snowstorms in nearly a decade struck central Illinois on February 13, producing blizzard conditions in many locations. Snow began falling during the late evening hours of February 12 and did not come to an end until 24 hours later.
The extended period of snow produced impressive accumulations across parts of central Illinois, particularly along the I-72 corridor where between 10 and 15 inches was common. Further north and south, snow totals gradually tapered downward.
In addition to the heavy snowfall, strong northerly winds gusting from 35 to 45 mph created blizzard conditions. Visibilities were reduced to less than a quarter of a mile at times in falling and/or blowing snow. Many locations reported snow drifts ranging from 3 to 6 feet, prompting the closure of several area roadways.
