| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Between 6 and 12 inches of heavy wet snow fell in extreme southeast Illinois near the Indiana border. The worst conditions occurred in Wabash, Wayne, and Edwards Counties, where nearly a foot of snow was blown into drifts up to 6 feet deep. Many roads, especially county roads, either drifted shut or were blocked by abandoned vehicles. Snow removal equipment such as road graders became stuck in a few cases. The American Red Cross set up shelters for snowbound residents and motorists. About eight motorists spent several hours stranded in deep snowdrifts on Route 1 near Mt. Carmel. |
