The winter storm that went across the central Plains and has been featured in quite a few of the National news programs has finally came to an end. Some areas in Central Missouri reached snowfall totals of 17 inches to go along with strong winds in the area. Other portions of Missouri & Illinois saw more of an ice event, where nearly an inch of ice crippled the power lines. All in all, 9 different National Weather Service offices have issued special reports showing the impact of this winter storm. They ranged from Lubbock, TX through Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri all the way northeastward to Chicago where areas of Illinois saw 10 inches of snow. It continued overnight as it reached into Wisconsin area as well, highest storm total from the Milwaukee, WI NWS office also indicates that 17.5 inches of snow fell! This storm was one of the worst ones that many of those areas have had for quite a while, with power being lost for over 24 hours and I’m sure some people still without power this afternoon as crews struggle getting around in the very cold temperatures. I’ve gathered together links from the NWS offices so you can go check out some pictures as well as images of the snowfall totals across their region, they’re listed below:
