A moist 500 mb shortwave trough tracked east from the Plains, causing a surface low pressure center to develop northeast from Texas to the central Appalachians. Widespread wintry precipitation occurred as colder air filtered south on the back side of the low. Around one-tenth of an inch of ice glazed surfaces across southern Illinois. Near the onset of precipitation, a period of sleet was reported. Most of the precipitation fell in the form of freezing rain. The automated observing station at the Carbondale airport measured 0.11 inch of ice accretion. Most of the icing was on trees, power lines, and elevated surfaces during the precipitation. After the precipitation ended, temperatures fell through the 20's, causing icy spots to develop even on paved surfaces. Slick roads and motor vehicle accidents were common during the early morning hours. Several wrecks occurred on Interstate 57. In Union County, a tractor-trailer rig crashed and caught fire on Interstate 57. In Franklin County, a Greyhound bus crashed into a trailer being pulled by a sport utility vehicle.
