ST. LOUIS — March came in quiet like a lamb with an entire week of sunshine. Now the cold air is in place and the snow has moved out.
Weldon Spring reported 1" of snow before it melted quickly. A coating, 1/2" to 1" is about all we had in the metro. Just as expected, not a big storm for us, and it moved through the area quickly.
The initial snow band faded and another band formed a bit farther south.
Most areas had under 1" of snow, mainly in the grassy areas, with some spots seeing little if any farther east of St. Louis.
Below are the snow totals from Friday March 11th, 2022.
