A weak low pressure center formed over the Ozarks of northern Arkansas, then strengthened slowly as it moved northeast across the Lower Ohio Valley. This low pressure system produced widespread snowfall amounts from 1 to 3 inches across southern Illinois. Gusty northwest winds in the wake of the intensifying low caused blowing and drifting snow. The highest snowfall totals were along and north of Interstate 64, where three inches fell. Three inches was reported in Mount Vernon and Albion. Snowfall was generally an inch or two south of the Interstate 64 corridor. Two inches was reported at DuQuoin, Benton, and Carbondale. Amounts were closer to an inch in the far southern counties, including Vienna, Metropolis, and Cairo. Roads were snow-covered and slippery. Side streets and secondary roads remained hazardous the longest, partly due to blowing and drifting snow. In White County, three vehicles slid off roads. Two of the vehicles were damaged too badly to drive from the scene. Schools were closed in some areas.
