The episode as NWS DVN wrote it up.
A storm system moved from the southern Plains to the Great Lakes region the night of January 31st into the morning hours of February 1st. This storm system brought light snow to areas along and north of I-80, with moderate to heavy snowfall to parts of southeast Iowa, northeast Missouri, and west central Illinois. Snowfall totals ranged from 2 inches along the Highway 20 corridor to 7 inches in northeast Missouri and west central Illinois.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Quad Cities, IA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jan 31, 11:35 PM CST, 25 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
1135 PM CST FRI JAN 31 2014
.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 938 PM CST FRI JAN 31 2014
DATA AND LATEST GUIDANCE TRENDS CONTINUE TO SUPPORT MOSTLY LIGHTER
AMOUNTS OVER AT LEAST THE NORTHERN 1/2 OF THE AREA. MANY LOCATIONS
SNOW AMOUNTS MAY BE 20 PERCENT OR MORE TOO HIGH. WILL PASS THIS ON
TO OVERNIGHT CREW. THE INITIATION OF PRECIPITATION IS JUST STARTING
IN KS/NE AND WILL BE MUCH BETTER KNOWN THE NEXT 2-4 HOURS. ALL TRENDS
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT LESSER AMOUNTS OVER THE NORTH.
UPDATE ISSUED AT 803 PM CST FRI JAN 31 2014
LATEST NAM IS TRENDING TOWARD VERIFICATION AND INITIALIZATION OF
TOO MOIST AS HAS BEEN THE CASE MUCH OF THIS WINTER FOR THE AMERICAN
SOLUTIONS. HAVE TRIMMED STORM SNOW AMOUNTS 10-15% MOST LOCATIONS WITH
RISK OF ANOTHER 10 PERCENT OR MORE REDUCTION MAY BE NEEDED OVER PARTS
OF THE AREA BY OVERNIGHT CREW. FORCING TOOLS SUGGEST HIGHEST AMOUNTS
OF 6 TO 7 INCHES (ISOLATED 8 INCH?) ROUGHLY ALONG A MEMPHIS MO TO SOUTH
OF GALESBURG TO SOUTH OF HENNEPIN IL AXIS. UPDATE WITH NEW WSW OUT
NEXT 30 MINUTES. WILL NOT CHANGE WARNING/ADVISORY SETUP FOR NOW AS
HEAVIER PRECIPITATION FOR EVENT IS STILL 4-6 HOURS AWAY FOR OUR AREA.
THIS SUGGESTS...~ 3 INCHES DBQ AREA...3-4 INCHES CID/IOW AREA AND MOSTLY
4-6 INCHES FOR THE GREATER QUAD CITIES AREAS. MAIN ISSUE IS THIS IS
AN OPEN WAVE MAKING ANY TRAINING OF PRECIPITATION TO BE MODEST.

INITIAL LIFT AND ROUNDS OF ELEVATED FRONTOGENETICALLY INDUCED SNOW
THAT HAVE BEEN STREAMING ACRS THE SOUTHERN CWA ALL DAY AND
PRODUCING 1-3 INCHES IN SOME PLACES...FINALLY SHOWING SIGNS OF
DECREASING. SOME LIGHT SNOW FIGHTING THE DRY LLVLS AND REACHING
THE SFC UP TO THE I80 CORRIDOR THIS AFTERNOON AS WELL. LATE
AFTERNOON-EARLY EVENING LULL IN THIS ACTIVITY TO BE SHORT LIVED AS
THE CYCLONE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING IN SOUTHEASTERN OK STARTING TO
DEVELOP THE SNOWS ACRS THE CENTRAL PLAINS THAT WILL EVENTUALLY
BE THE MAIN SHOW FOR OUR AREA LATER TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. WILL
HAVE TO CARRY HIGH POPS FOR LIGHT LINGERING SNOW THIS EVENING
SOUTH OF I80...BUT AGAIN SOME TEMPORARILY LULLS EXPECTED.
AS FOR THE MAIN SNOW EVENT LATER TONIGHT...THE MODELS WITH THE 12Z
RUNS HAVE COME CLOSER IN HANDLING THE MAIN SFC LOW PATH OUT OF OK
AND TOWARD EAST CENTRAL MO BY 12Z SAT...EAST CENTRAL IL INTO NW
IND BY 18Z SAT AND RACING OFF TO SOUTHEAST LOWER MI/WESTERN LK ERIE
BSN BY 00Z SUN. STRONG MID AND UPPER JET FORCING STREAKING RIGHT
UP ACRS THE CWA IN SOUTH WESTERLIES LATER TONIGHT AND SAT FOR DEEP
CHIMNEY TYPE LIFT...LLVL WARM MOIST CONVEYOR UP TO THE LEE OF THIS
SYSTEM...AND H85 MB LOW TO MID LEVEL VORT TRACK SUPPORT A HEAVIER
SNOW BAND/TYPE OF DEF ZONE MOVING UP ACRS MUCH OF THE DVN CWA
AFTER MIDNIGHT THROUGH SAT MORNING. STRONG POS OMEGA PLUME WITH
DEEPENING MOISTURE PROFILES ALSO SUGGEST ROUNDS OF DENDRITIC
BURSTS AN HEAVY SNOW. HAVE ALREADY UPGRADED THE TARGET AREA OF
EXPECTED HIGHER SNOW AMOUNTS FROM AN ADVISORY TO A WARNING NOW FOR
5-8 INCHES OF SNOW BY MID SAT AFTERNOON FOR AREAS GENERALLY ALONG
AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM WASHINGTON IA...TO DAVENPORT IA...TO
STERLING IL. SOME HIGHER AMOUNTS MAY BE POSSIBLE IN EXTENDED
ELEVATED CONVERGENT WING ACRS HENRY CO IL TOWARD PRINCETON
IL...AND OF COURSE THE SOUTHERN CWA IN AREAS THAT HAVE ALREADY
GOTTEN 1-3 INCHES TODAY MAY HAVE A FEW SPOTS PUSHING 10 INCHES BY
THE TIME IT IS AL SAID AND DONE. BUT WITH A ELEVATED WARM AIR
ADVECTION WING NOTED ON FCST SOUNDINGS ADJUSTED ACRS THE FAR
SOUTHERN AND SOUTHEASTERN CWA INCLUDING THE MACOMB AREA...SUGGEST A
ROUND OF ACCUMULATING SLEET POSSIBLE TOWARD SUNRISE SAT THROUGH 9
AM CST OR SO BEFORE DYNAMICAL COOLING TRANSITIONS THE PROFILES
BACK TO ALL SNOW. THIS COULD REDUCE SNOW AMOUNTS IN THESE SOUTHERN
AREAS,...AND FREEZING RAIN NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION GETTING INTO
THE SOUTHEASTERN CWA IF MODELS ARE STILL UNDERPLAYING THE EXTENT
OF BUILDING WARM WEDGE ALOFT PUSHING INTO THESE AREAS LATE
TONIGHT. FOR NOW WILL KEEP THE SLEET MENTION...WITH UP TO A HALF
INCH OF SLEET ACCUM POSSIBLE.
AS FOR THE ADVISORY AREA...EXCEPT FOR KEOKUK CO...HAVE ADJUSTED
THE START TIME BACK TO 03Z THIS EVENING TO TRY AND TARGET THE MORE
ACCUMULATING SNOW WINDOW...IT MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED BACK TO 06Z
IF DRY AIR EATS AT ADVANCING SATURATION PROCESSES. STILL EXPECT A
GENERAL 3-5 INCHES IN THE ADVISORY AREA...WITH LIGHTER AMOUNTS IN
THE EXTREME NORTHWESTERN CWA TOWARD INDEPENDENCE/BUCHANAN CO WHICH
REMAINS THE ONLY COUNTY WITHOUT A HEADLINE FOR NOW. SNOW TO WIND UP
AND MOVE OUT SAT AFTERNOON FROM WEST-TO-EAST. NORTHWEST WIND
INCREASE TO 15 TO 20 MPH BY LATE AFTERNOON IN ADVANCING HIGH
PRESSURE GRADIENT MAY MAKE FOR SOME DRIFTING OF THE NEWLY FALLEN
SNOW...THUS WILL KEEP THE 00Z END TIME. ..12..
.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 313 PM CST FRI JAN 31 2014
TURNING COLDER AND DRY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH ANOTHER SNOW
SYSTEM TO IMPACT THE REGION TUES-WED. FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER ARCTIC
COLD DUMP LATE WEEK.
SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...INCREASING SUBSIDENCE AND CLEARING
SKIES BEHIND EXITING SNOW SYSTEM TO BRING DRY AND COLD CONDITIONS AS
A 1030 MB CANADIAN HIGH BUILDS INTO THE PLAINS. MIN TEMPS A
CHALLENGE AS PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN BUILDING HIGH AND DEPARTING
LOW STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP WINDS FROM COMPLETELY DECOUPLING.
HOWEVER...FRESH SNOW COVER AND TIMING OF CLOUDS CLEARING MAY KEEP
TEMPS LOWER. FOR NOW WILL GO WITH LOWS IN SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE/BELOW
ZERO SAT NGT. WILL NEED TO WATCH WIND CHILLS SUN MORNING AS THEY MAY
BRIEFLY REACH INTO ADVISORY CRITERIA ACROSS THE FAR NW CWA FOR A FEW
HOURS. SUNNY SKIES BUT COLD CONDITIONS SUNDAY WITH LITTLE RECOVERY
IN TEMPS DUE TO CONTINUING COLD ADVECTION AND FRESH SNOW COVER.
SURFACE RIDGE TO PASS OVER REGION LATE SUNDAY AND COMBINED WITH
STRONG RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL PUSH TEMPS SLIGHTLY COLDER...BELOW
ZERO AREA WIDE EARLY MONDAY. EVEN WITH THE LIGHTER WINDS
EXPECTED...WIND CHILLS AGAIN TO DROP NEAR OR JUST BELOW MINUS 20
DEGREES ACROSS THE NORTHERN THIRD OF CWA FOR A FEW HOURS.
MONDAY-WEDNESDAY...RETURN FLOW COMMENCES MONDAY WITH FAIR WX
CONDITIONS AND MODERATING TEMPS. ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO DEVELOPING
SYSTEM EJECTING OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST. TIMING...STRENGTH...AND TRACK
STILL IN QUESTION AS SYSTEM IS STILL OUT IN THE PACIFIC. LATEST 12Z
MODELS SUGGEST SURFACE LOW TO TRACK FROM NORTHERN TX TO WESTERN
KY/TN BY 00Z WED. 85H LOW PROGS FROM THE LATEST MODEL RUNS SHOW A
TRACK FROM WESTERN OK TO SOUTHERN MO TO STL. THIS PATH STILL KEEPS
THE HEAVIEST SNOW ACCUMS SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA. STILL SOME SHIFT IN
TRACK POSSIBLE AS SYSTEM GETS BETTER SAMPLED BY THE UPPER AIR
NETWORK IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. TYPICALLY SYSTEMS MOVING OUT OF THE
SOUTHWEST EJECT OUT SLOWER AND SHIFT SLIGHTLY TO THE NORTH. IF THIS
OCCURS...SNOW ACCUMS WILL INCREASE OVER THE CWA. STAY TUNED TO
FURTHER FORECAST UPDATES WITH THIS CHALLENGING STORM.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY...STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION TAKES PLACE IN
THE WAKE OF THIS PASSING SYSTEM WITH 85H TEMPS IN THE -16 TO -20C
RANGE BY 06Z THURSDAY. FALLING TEMPS THROUGHOUT MUCH OF WEDNESDAY
EXPECTED WITH THURSDAY MORNING LOWS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO MIDDLE
TEENS BELOW ZERO. IF MORE SNOW FALLS WITH THE TUES/WED SYSTEM...THEN
THESE READINGS MAY NEED TO BE LOWERED. A COLD AND BRISK DAY THURSDAY
WITH HIGHS REMAINING IN THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO. YET ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AND MOVE ACROSS THE PLAINS
IN THE SW UPPER FLOW THURSDAY NIGHT. KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN THE
FORECAST FOR THIS SYSTEM.
