Overview
Snow impacted the entire region during the early morning and late afternoon hours on January 10th. The initial round brought a period of light to moderate snow, followed by a heavier burst of snow with wrap around moisture associated with an area of low pressure. Temperatures remained near to below freezing, allowing for snow to quickly accumulate on all surfaces. During the daylight hours, lighter intervals of snow combined with the sunlight allowed for snow melt on treated roadways. Schools were cancelled in most counties, with a few closings lingering into the following week mainly across portions of Southern Illinois.
Snow
Highest snowfall amounts from this system were across the Mark Twain National Forest in Southeast Missouri into extreme Southwest Illinois. Amounts of 5 to 8 inches occurred from Doniphan to Piedmont and Perryville, MO into the Murphysboro and Du Quoin, IL areas. The rest of the region including Western Kentucky and Southwest Indiana picked up between 2 to 5 inches of snow. The official snowfall measurement for Paducah, KY was 3.7 inches at our office in West Paducah, KY, but other portions of the city observed between 4 to 6 inches of snow due to a sharp cutoff in heavier snow bands.
