A strong cold front moved slowly southeast across the lower Ohio Valley and southeast Missouri on February 3-4.

Deeper into the cold air, a zone of heavy sleet fell near the Ohio River and much of southeast Missouri. Further northwest from Mount Vernon to Carbondale, Illinois, the cold air was deep enough for plenty of snow.Snow/Ice
