The CBS4 Weather team wishes you a Merry Christmas! We hope you enjoyed the holiday.
I thought I'd give a few stats from Christmas days past. The coldest high temperature every on Christmas was -2° back in 1983, while the coldest low temperature occurred just 13 years ago in 2000 at -18°. The warmest temperature ever was 59° in the very warm year of 1936 (the same year we broke our all time record high in the Quad Cities of 111°!).
Since 1872, the most snow that has been on the ground at once was 12 inches, and that was back in 1909. Multiple years have had no snow on the ground. On average, the Quad Cities has 2" of snow on the ground; this Christmas there was a snow depth around 5" at the airport in Moline, and we saw a few snow showers Christmas afternoon.
