After a day of sunshine and record high temperatures in the lower to middle 50s on January 11, 2012 a strong polar cold front plowed across the region. Behind the front, strong northwest winds gusting to 30 to 35 mph ushered sharply colder temperatures and moderate to heavy snowfall into the area. For many locations this was the first significant snowstorm of the winter. Accumulations were generally in the 2 to 5 inch range but amounts of 6 to 7 inches were found across portions of eastern Iowa and northwest Illinois. The highest total was 7.5 inches near Solon, Iowa in Johnson county. A trained spotter reported 7 inches of snow at Apple River State Park in Jo Daviess county in northwest Illinois. The blustery winds caused considerable blowing and drifting of the fluffy snow as temperatures were in the teens. Wind chill values were in the single digits below zero, a far cry from the mild weather experienced only 18 to 24 hours earlier.
