Record Setting Snow For January

The bitter cold is settling in for the next 36-48 hours across Iowa and Illinois after an Arctic front dropped through Sunday evening bringing some snow with it.

Officially, a combined total of 1.5" of snow fell in the Quad Cities from Friday and Sunday.  More may have fallen, but the winds made measuring it difficult.

That snow brings our January snow total to 17.4", which makes this our eighth snowiest January on record in the Quad Cities.

For the winter, we're now up to 32.2", which is now ahead of what we typically see for an entire winter (31.6").

More light snow is expected Thursday and we could see some more Friday night and Saturday.
