Chris Miller with the National Weather Service in Lincoln says central Illinois fell in the five to six inches prediction but in some areas, there were as much as seven inches of snow.

 

 

Other parts of the state though got very little snowfall. Miller says northern and southern Illinois received only a couple inches of snow in some spots, otherwise, there was some rain or no precipitation at all.

 

 

Miller says the Easter Sunday snow was only the seventh time it's snowed on the holiday in 140 years and the last time there was a major event was 40 years ago.

 

 

Miller says central Illinois is stuck in a cold weather pattern and cannot seem to break out of it and indicates there could more snow late Friday then again Sunday and into Monday.
