This winter has created a record amount of snow, but it's this week's warmup that will take the Quad-Cities down a very slushy road.

Monday heaped 5.9 inches of snow on the area, breaking the record for snowiest winter in Quad-City recorded history with a total of 53.3 inches since Dec. 1.

"I think we've seen enough," National Weather Service meteorologist Dan Ferry said.

He's looking ahead, wondering where the inch of rain expected to fall Wednesday and Thursday will go. The ground is still frozen, and even Tuesday's expected high of 40 degrees probably won't be enough to melt the snow.

Rock Island Public Works director Randy Tweet said this week may be warmer, but it will be messy with rain in the forecast and snow likely blocking many catch basins.

“We’ll get more runoff into the streets,” Tweet said. “I suspect it will be incredibly messy. We do get a number of street flooding calls when that happens.

“We try to plow all the way to the curb, but most catch basins are at the intersections, and it is hard to keep those clear.”

Davenport Police Cpl. Brian Heick said authorities responded to eight property damage accidents on the city's roads Monday.
