FACT: Today is one of the snowiest days EVER in the Quad Cities

Friday night at midnight:

We missed it by an inch! Literally, an inch. Our total for Friday was 15.4″ so the old record of 16.4″ in one day stands…

6pm update: We are now up to 14.7″ of snow – TODAY! That puts us at #5 all-time and it’s still snowing. If we get another 1.7″ of snow, we’ll have the snowiest calendar day ever in the Quad Cities!

Previous Post:

Before today we’ve only had 7 calendar days in Quad Cities weather history that had at least a foot of snow fall.

Today, we’re likely joining adding to that exclusive club!

As of noon, we’ve picked up 10.4″ of snow in Moline (the official QC measurement.)

And it’s been snowing hard ever since then, so we’re likely already over a foot!

We’ll get our next update shortly after 6 p.m. and look for our total to be over 12″ by then.

Any unnecessary travel should be avoided as the Blizzard Warning goes from 5 p.m. until noon on Saturday.
