A winter storm system moved across the Midwest on Monday February 17, Washington's Birthday Holiday (Presidents' Day), bringing periods of heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain to the region. Widespread snowfall amounts of 2 to 6 inches were common across the area, with some locally higher and lower totals.  The Quad Cities recorded its snowiest Washington's Birthday Holiday ever by measuring 5.9 inches of snow.  In addition, much of Southeast Iowa, Northeast Missouri, and Western Central Illinois saw some freezing rain, which resulted in a tenth to a half an inch of ice accumulations.  This caused some power outages and made travel hazardous. By late afternoon, temperatures south of Interstate 80, where the icing took place, had risen into the middle 30s to lower 40s melting much of the ice and snow.
