Above Map:  Weekend Snow Totals reported to the National Weather Service

Storm snow totals followed the forecast numbers, with higher totals to the south and southeast.  Observations reported to the Lincoln Office of the National Weather Service include:

Mattoon – 7″

St. Elmo – 8″

Effingham – 8″

Greenup – 9″

Mt. Vernon – 11″-12″

Olney – 14″

As the Extreme Cold Warning issued by the National Weather Service expires, the freezing temperatures will remain.  In fact, they’ve already issued another Cold Weather Advisory from Monday at 6:00 p.m. until Tuesday at 6:00 a.m.

While temperatures won’t be as bitter cold as on Monday morning, the winds will pick up, gusting up to 25 mph.  This may result in wind chills as low as -16 during the overnight hours.  Some blowing and drifting of snow may occur, primarily in rural areas.

Nightly low temperatures will measure below zero through Friday night, as the Arctic airmass is settled in place.  High temperatures are not forecast to get above freezing until at least next week.
