3/2/2014 Jackson County, IL Sleet and Thunderstorm B-Roll

That's not snow, it is sleet! And this is only the first of two rounds expected for southern Illinois as more sleet and snow will move in later on Sunday and last through Monday morning bringing an additional 6-inches of snow to the inch-plus of ice covering the ground promising to make Monday morning's commute very hazardous to near impossible. Many schools, churches, and businesses have already closed for Monday in anticipation of the storm.

An intense winter storm pounding a large part of the country awakened many residents across southern Illinois just before sunrise with a thunderstorm of sleet that dumped over an inch of sleet in less than two hours. This storm included pink lightning flashes as it moved over with rates of half-inch per hour.

Sleet covered many roads, but fortunately the early Sunday morning prevented too big a mess as many people were not out and about.
