National Weather Service Discusses Last Week's Snow Storm Impacts on Future Forecasts

It was just a few weeks ago, weather officials in central Illinois were watching snowfall totals heading into February as we were pacing for one of the least snowy winters of all time. 

 

That quickly changed when nearly a foot of snow fell in central Illinois on Wednesday and Thursday or last week. Other than a small swath of central and east-central Illinois, Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln says a lack of snowfall is no longer on their radar.

 

 

The large amount of snow pack could impact the future outlooks as well. According to Shimon, all this snow will likely cool things down and make at least the short term outlooks cold.

 

 

As we mentioned on Regional Radio over the weekend, this last week's snow event was one of the more significant snow events in over a decade.
