In the wake of a strong arctic cold front, temperatures plummeted 40 to 50 degrees in about 12 hours. Precipitation ended as a short period of freezing rain and sleet. Moisture from earlier rainfall turned to ice on roads and sidewalks. Roads became very hazardous across much of southern Illinois, primarily along and north of a Carbondale to Harrisburg line. In Franklin County, one-tenth of an inch of freezing rain caused multiple wrecks. The U.S. Highway 45 bridge over the Ohio River between Massac County and Paducah, KY was closed due to icing of its metal bridge deck.
