Anywhere from 7 to 12 inches of snow fell across central Illinois over the weekend, and the effects were still being felt Monday morning.

DeWitt County Sheriff Mike Walker told Regional Radio news that main roadways were in better shape Monday morning than what they were at the height of the storm, but secondary roads are expected to remain snow-packed for quite some time.

Sheriff Walker reminds residents to keep up to date with road conditions thru a variety of online resources. He says you should not call CenCom for a road update.

The storm over the weekend looks to be just the first reminder of winter for 2019. The National Weather Service is calling for freezing rain and snow to impact the area late Wednesday night thru Thursday morning with minor ice accumulations possible. Then another round of accumulating snow is expected Friday night through Saturday night. While no exact amounts are available yet for the coming system, weather officials expect several inches of accumulating snow across central Illinois this weekend.

Keep it tuned to Regional Radio this week as we will continue to monitor the coming weather situation.
