| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A storm over the Southern Plains moved northeast bringing rain to the area which switched over to snow in the evening on March 8th. The snowfall persisted overnight with a mixture of freezing rain and snow in our southeastern counties. By the time the snow tapered off, snowfall amounts ranged from 2 inches in Coles county to over 6 inches in Knox, Peoria, and Fulton counties. Numerous accidents were reported with dozens of minor injuries. Two men died in separate accidents in Peoria county as they lost control of their vehicles due to the trecherous road conditions. Even after the snowfall subsided, gusty winds to 50 mph created near white-out conditions in most locations, before subsiding during the evening hours on the 9th. |
