Snowy Math from Journal Star Meteorologists
Area under storm warning; accumulation could reach 8 inches
Periods of snow will continue over north-central Illinois today through Monday morning. Areas near Peoria have already seen about 5 inches of snow so far today. Additional heavy snowfall will be likely, according to the National Weather Service.
An additional 1 to 2 inches of snow is likely this afternoon and another 1 to 2 inches tonight and Monday morning giving a storm total of 5 to 8 inches.
5+1+1= 7
5+2+2= 9
Update/Addendum (6:30pm, Sunday) – After some melting, I have an inch of snow, tops, on the ground. I seriously doubt we’ll make 9, 7, or even 5 inches in the West Bluff.

I think we maybe got 2″ in Morton. But the slushy snow made for some thick ice and that is NOT fun to drive in!
