Dubuque had the largest amount of snow to fall in a single day in over 8 years yesterday.
QuoteThe largest single-day snowfall in eight years in Dubuque snarled local roadways for a good portion of Thursday, with authorities asking motorists to stay put at times.
A total of 9.4 inches of snow was reported at Dubuque Regional Airport as of 6 p.m. The airport is the City of Dubuque’s official reporting location for the National Weather Service.
“Initially, we had 3 to 5 inches forecasted for Dubuque, but we knew there was a chance for a heavier band of snow that had a potential for a higher amount,” said David Cousins, a weather service meteorologist. “It set up over Dubuque.”
Before that the last time Dubuque received that much snow in a single day was on Feb 1, 2015 when ten inches fell. That was also the last time Dubuque had double digit snow fall. We used to get those on a semi-annual basis but not in recent years.
It's supposed to be a bit quieter this weekend and warmer too so I don't think that snow will hang around too long.
Even up here in the Twin Cities we've had a bunch of snow melting lately due to the warmer temperatures.
