Wider weather episode

Low pressure tracking from southwest Missouri during the afternoon of January 25th to southern Ohio by the morning of January 26th brought a mixed bag of wintry precipitation to the region. While locations along and south of I-70 saw all rain, a mixture of freezing rain and snow was observed further north across the heart of central Illinois. Snow and ice amounts generally remained minimal: however, areas along and north of a Galesburg to Lacon line picked up 1 to 4 inches of snow. Even higher snow totals were focused further northwest from eastern Iowa into northwest Illinois.
