MONROE - Heavy rain, warmer temperatures, snow - and cold temperatures.
If anyone wanted to see a change in the weather over the past few days they didn't have to wait long.
The temperature dropped about 20 degrees Christmas, and a day that began with some sunshine and seasonally pleasant weather turned into snow and chilly temperatures.
The weekend weather proved just as seemingly random as more snow fell on the area Saturday.
In Green County, Friday's weather contributed to one accident, while several accidents were blamed on slippery roads in Lafayette County.
According to the Green County Sheriff's Department, a vehicle driven by Catherine A. Wehinger, 56, Monroe, left the road and hit a road sign due to heavy rain. No one was injured in the accident. The vehicle received moderate damage.
