Weather Almanac For 3/26

This Day In Weather History

2002- Snow, ice and wind started the morning of the 25th and continued into the 26th.  Snowfall of 2 to 4 inches were common which doesn't seem like much, but with a strong wind blowing and drifting ccaused major issues.  Whiteout conditions were created in Peoria, Woodford, northern Tazewell, and northwest McLean Counties.  Between I-72 and I-70, freezing rain late in the evening of the 25th into the early morning hours of the 26th produced up to 1/2 inch of ice.  This freezing rain changed to sleet then snow before sunrise.  Snowfall amounts of 4 to 7 inches were common with blowing and drifing also a problem.
