Snowfall Update

The last system that moved through left some rather heavy snowfall totals. Areas in St. Louis recieved upwards of 1 foot of snow. It wasn't nearly as bad here in Alton. I measured the snow depth soon after it stopped snowing, and the amount came to 7.6 inches of snow. The snow started around 8:00 pm last night, and ended around 2:00 pm today. Pretty impresive snow fall totals for such a short period of time. The National Weather Service in St. Louis has a nice graphic showing the total. Here is the link to it. You'll have to scroll over the map to expand it, but it is a really good map for this event.
