CarlislePaWx Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Back at 6:10 snow squall #2 moved in and through the area. Heavy snow with huge flakes for about five minutes. With the wind and temp around 37 degrees it really did feel like mid-winter. I wonder if we're on pace to set a record for the most number of days in the month (April) where a trace or more of snow was observed? I've lost count, but certainly it's been at least six different times / days when snow was seen flying through the air. Did you guys know that Minneapolis and surrounding areas recorded between 12 and 24" of snow over the weekend? Blizzard warnings were issued as winds howled sustained at 25 gusting to 40mph with near zero visibility. My son was on a layover there the night before, and they got as far as the plane being de-iced before the snow got too heavy and visibilities dropped to below 0.125 miles...which in turn shut down the airport. He said even the city itself seemed caught off-guard by the magnitude of the snow. That upper air energy and pocket of arctic air is I think what ended up triggering our squalls today.

Blizzard of 93 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Another wintry April day ! I saw at least 3 rounds of snow showers today in Harrisburg & Marysville. We should have actually had more April snow if the storm on the 7th had hit us. A couple of days before it looked likely that we would get 3-6 inches of snow, but it ended up missing because of too much cold air that pushed the front to our south. This late winter/early spring has been memorable & has become one that we will mention for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minneapolis & Green Bay got hammered with historic snow. Their radar & Blizzard Warnings were entertaining to watch as the storm crushed them with snow.

Some areas in Wisconsin had north of 30" over the weekend. In mid-April. It's been that kind of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless...enjoy! I can vouch for far western Cambria County having an inch or so this morning on the US 22 corridor at one of the high points (Chickaree Ridge). Nothing on the roads though despite it snowing pretty hard. Tuesday was a different story as there was snow on the roads up there that morning. The Laurel's have been something else this month.

Sunny, milder days (though still below normal) and clear, chilly nights look to be in store into the middle of next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
