Finally, Some Melting

We saw a few flurries across the north Thursday morning and another system dropping across the Mississippi Valley tonight could bring up to an inch of snow to our southern hometowns.  We could even see some light snow in the Quad Cities.

A more widespread snow event is likely Saturday afternoon and Saturday night.  Early indications are that 1-3" of snow could accumulate.

Meanwhile, we're finally warming up.  Thursday's highs of 35°-40° will be the first above freezing day this February.  Temperatures this month are still running 19.2° below average.

For the winter (December, January, and February), the average temperature has been 13.5°, which is 11 degrees below average.

Temperatures next week look nice.  We'll see several days with highs in the 40s, which will be above average!
