More Snow and Cold

The roller coaster ride of temperatures we experienced in December will continue into the first part of 2014.

With one more day left in December 2013, temperatures are running more than five degrees below average in the Quad Cities.  Monday marked the seventh morning in December with lows below zero.

This is a shot of ice on the cold Mississippi River.

Light snow is possible today and early tonight with accumulations ranging from less than one inch south of the Quad Cities to around an inch in the metro area and 1-2" north of the Quad Cities.

However, a longer duration snow is likely to develop Tuesday afternoon and continue into Thursday.  It's early in the game, but this snow event looks more impressive and several inches are likely.

We only need 1.4" of snow before midnight tomorrow night for this to rank as one of the fifteen snowiest Decembers on record in the Quad Cities.
