Anniversary...


Today marks a big weather anniversary in the Quad Cities...here's an interesting little tidbit from the NWS in Davenport!

HISTORICAL RECORDS...TODAY MARKS THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIGGEST 24 HOUR SNOWFALL IN THE QUAD CITIES RECORDED HISTORY. ON JANUARY 3 1971...16.4 INCHES OF SNOW FELL AT MOLINE. SOME LOCATIONS IN DAVENPORT HAD 18 INCHES WHICH I MEASURED. THIS OCCURRED ON A SUNDAY AND SCHOOLS WERE CLOSED FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS WHICH WAS FUN
FOR THIS KID. ..HAASE..
