5th Straight Weekend of Accumulating Snow

Another weekend, another accumulating snow in the Quad Cities.  In fact, as the title of this blog post states, it's the fifth weekend in a row that there has been accumulating snow.  Since December 1st, there has been 11 weekends (including this one).  Get this, 9 out of 11 of them has had accumulating snow!

Here are Saturday snow totals from a few hometowns across the CBS4 viewing area.
The 1.4" at the Quad City International Airport in Moline pushes us in the Top 10 highest snowfalls in recorded history.
We will get a break from the snow on Sunday with partly to mostly sunny skies.  Sunday night into early Monday morning we'll see our next chance for wintry weather.  This will come in the form of snow, freezing rain, rain and sleet for some areas.  Latest trends are taking are system south, putting the northern 2/3 of the area on the colder side of the storm, meaning more snow and less ice.  The southern third of the area will have an area of warm air aloft that could switch precip over to freezing rain or sleet before changing to all snow.

This next storm could have an impact on your Monday morning commute.  Stay with the CBS4 weather team for updates in the next 24 hours.
