The first wave of the next winter storm moved into southern Illinois late Friday afternoon bringing a quick shot of snow to the region before easing into the night. The snow, which came down heavy at times, fell at an inch an hour at it’s highest rate leaving a half an inch in 30 minutes. It did slicken roads a bit and caused one spin-off along I-57 just north of Marion.
