While it snowed this late in March last year, this is only the 3rd time in the last 25 years it has snowed this late in the year across southern Illinois. While there were no accumulations beyond a dusting on colder surfaces, it was a reminder that even with the Spring tease of the weekend, winter was still hanging on. Temperatures are expected to remain in the 40s through Wednesday before Spring starts to make its return into the weekend.
