A strong storm system tracked northeast from southeast TX up into the Ohio River valley Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning bringing snow to much of southeast IA, northwest IL, and northeast MO.  Snowfall totals between 2 and 4 inches were common south of a line from Mt Pleasant IA, to the Quad Cities, to Sterling IL with some locally higher amounts near 5 inches.  This brought snow covered roads and reduced visibilities to the region.
