As far as snowfall forecasts go this event verified nicely as most areas ended up in their projected ranges. La Salle/Peru has been one spot that actually received more than expected and Lincoln slightly less. The anticipated wedge of dry air northeast of I-74 reduced snowfall rates and kept accumulations to under an inch across the eastern half of the region. Meanwhile heavier snow accumulations were seen across Knox, Fulton and McDonough Counties where localized bands of heavier snow allowed for totals to exceed 3 inches.
