Low pressure developing in the central Rockies brought southerly winds and increasing moisture into the region on December 16, 2008. This warmer air riding atop arctic air entrenched across the area produced about a 12 hour period of light to moderate snow. The snow was quite fluffy but winds were light with little if any blowing or drifting reported. Snow accumulations of 3 to 5 inches were common with isolated amounts near 6 inches in northwest Illinois.
