A winter storm brought snow, sleet, and freezing rain to the area on February 21st 2013. Numerous thundersnow reports across central and northeast Missouri aided in heavy snowfall and accumulation of 8 to 12 inches. Further south and east, the snow mixed with sleet at times, limiting storm totals to only 3 to 6 inches in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area.  The wintry mix included freezing rain the further south you traveled, with up to a quarter of an inch of glaze reported across parts of southeast Missouri and southwest Illinois.
