A major winter storm dumped significant amounts of snow and sleet across southern Illinois. Some freezing rain also occurred, mainly along the Ohio River from Metropolis to Shawneetown. The highest snow amounts were along and west of Interstate 57 from Mount Vernon to Marion, where several inches of snow fell on top of a layer of sleet. Isolated amounts of 7 to 8 inches were reported in the Carbondale and DuQuoin areas (Jackson and Perry Counties). Most other places northwest of a line from Fairfield (Wayne County) to Harrisburg (Saline County) to Anna (Union County) reported 4 to 5 inches of mainly snow on a layer of sleet. Snowfall rates were as high as 3/4 inch per hour, which reduced visibility below a mile. In the Ohio River counties, where precipitation was all sleet and freezing rain, one-tenth inch to one-quarter inch of ice was under about three-quarters inch of sleet. Widespread major travel impacts were reported across the region. Roads were covered with an icy mix that resulted in traffic accidents. A strong cold front moved slowly southeast across the lower Ohio Valley and southeast Missouri on February 2nd. Precipitation changed from rain to a mix of wintry precipitation on the 2nd. Along and west of Interstate 57 from Mount Vernon to Marion,  the cold air became deep enough for plenty of snow.
