The major winter storm that hammered parts of southern Illinois overnight is finally moving out of the region, but not after leaving a coating of ice across portions of the region in addition to some light snow and sleet accumulations. The National Weather Service in Paducah has taken reports as high as 0.80\" of ice in portions of southern IL from the storm. Most areas received around a quarter-inch of ice accumulations overnight. I-DOT crews and private companies were out trying to clear the roads and parking lots as the storm winds down.
Video package includes footage of vehicles that had spun off area highways, damaged trees from the heavy weight of the accumulated ice, power lines coated in ice, shots of trees covered in ice, and snow plows clearing and treating roads.
