Freezing rain fell overnight and into the morning across southern Illinois where a FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY remained in effect until 6pm Monday. A light glazing of ice, generally in the 0.10-0.15″ range (per the Paducah NWS office), coated trees and cars, as well as created some slick spots leading to spin-outs on area highways. The warmer surfaces prevented a more significant event from unfolding, but it was still enough to cause some minor issues and bring out the snow plows.
