The past 24 hours brought snow and freezing temperatures to most of Illinois, pushing the pause button on planting and threatening any crops already above ground.
“It was pretty wild. Snowfall on April 20th is definitely a rarity.”
As reports come in, state climatologist Trent Ford says there was anywhere from trace amounts of snow that has already melted, up to 2 inches that will likely melt by the end of the day.
