The wider storm

A slow-moving upper disturbance brought a period of snow to central Illinois from the evening of November 14th into the morning of November 15th. While most locations east of the Illinois River and north of I-70 picked up 2 to 3 inches of snow, a persistent band produced as much as 6 to 7 inches across Scott, Morgan, and Cass counties. The 6 inches of snow measured in Jacksonville was the earliest recorded snowfall of 6 or more inches in that city since 1900.
