| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A very unusual April snowstorm affected a small part of southern Illinois. The narrow path of snow extended from the Mt. Vernon and Carbondale areas to around Shawneetown on the Ohio River. The highest snowfall total was 6 inches in Willisville. About five inches of snow fell at Du Quoin, and three to four inches fell at Harrisburg, Herrin, and Zeigler. The Marion and Carbondale areas received 1 to 3 inches. The wet, slushy snow accumulated mostly on grassy areas. There was enough on the roads to cause some accidents. The state police district headquarters at Du Quoin reported 17 traffic wrecks. A head-on collision along Route 37 near West Frankfort injured two persons. Another head-on collision along U.S. 51 near Du Quoin injured 3 persons. The snow melted rather quickly as temperatures rose into the 40s later in the day. |
