The Quad Cities had a record setting winter this year, according to statistics from the National Weather Service for December through February.
Meteorologist Brian Pierce says the lowest temperature was a record breaking minus 33 degrees on January 31st, while other days in the same month were warmer than normal.
"Most of December was considerably warmer than normal," said Pierce. "The first little bit of January too, and then the cold air really didn't show up until the second half of January and then February. So we almost wiped out that surplus of warmth, but not quite."
However, the Quad Cities did get more snow than normal. In total, we received around 40 inches, 15 inches more than during an average winter.
There was also record amounts of precipitation, with almost 10 inches of rain falling from December through February.
