| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Winter came in with a vengeance, appropriately enough, on the 1st day of winter across west and southwest Illinois. A strong cold front brought the first blast of Arctic air to the state. This was quite a shock for many people as temperatures previously in the month had been quite mild, with highs ranging from the 50s to the 70s. Light freezing drizzle, sleet and snow came in with the cold front. Roads across much of the area became covered with a thin coating of ice by the morning rush hour on the 21st. Automobile accidents were numerous. Temperatures the night/morning of the 21st/22nd dropped into the single digits in most areas and only rose into the teens on the 22nd. |
