Here’s a list of snow accumulations for Belleville and other southwest Illinois towns

These are town-by-town snowfall totals from the winter storm that hit communities across the metro-east Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service in St. Louis.

These amounts were compiled from Jon Carney, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, and are as of early Wednesday afternoon. They are still subject to change. The total accumulations represent snow. Several towns had not reported their amounts as of 12:30 p.m. Wednesday.

As previously reported, the snowfall amounts were far less than originally projected. As of late Tuesday afternoon, the gauge was 4-8 inches. Some models had as much as 10 inches hitting the metro-east.

According to a tweet from the NWS, “Further north, warm air remained stubborn causing a slower transition from rain to snow, thus lowering snow amounts.”

Carney added additional insight into the shift in snow totals.

“We were expecting the changeover from rain to snow early- to mid-evening and it didn’t change over until some time during the morning,” he said. “We’re talking about a degree or two and that makes all the difference in the world for whether there’s rain or snow. And it just didn’t happen.”
