Hoosier Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 41 minutes ago, Chicago WX said: OKK under a WWA, but not LAF. Very odd call by IND. Anyways, 0.16" of precip thus far at LAF...and still ripping. Nice to see our old home still has it. And I can't believe all these systems of late whiffing us to the south...in March and now April. I was thinking that overall this is one of the more wintry patterns I can recall by late March/early April standards (I mean as far as what I have lived through). In addition to these southern misses, there's the Tuesday system that does the less surprising miss to the north. You would think that something might hit us eventually with how these systems are coming with some regularity, but there's no guarantees. Certainly not out of the question to continue getting missed every which way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it looks to continue next weekend with another wintry system for these same places to the south. Kinda crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 If we can somehow manage 4” today, between the 3/24 event and today we could come damn close to matching our ENTIRE winter 2017-2018 total. Can never recall this happening in March/April. Crazy pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackstraw Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Got a solid 4 on the ground here. Snowed for almost an hour before it started sticking so actual could be more, i have no way to measure that accurately. Still going strong, one of the prettiest snows flake wise of the season.

HighTechEE Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Radar doughnut hole from h3ll finally filled in IMBY after its been raining and snowing a county or 2 away in all directions for the past 4 hours! kind of odd watching a Snow Storm in April! Looks like it went from nothing to at least moderate snow in less than 10 mins, about 34 degrees so nothing sticking yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachLB Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 5-7 inches being reported in central Indiana. I've got 2 inches measurable. Melted off for the first hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Reports of 6.8" and 6.0" out of the LAF area. That is basically about the biggest April snow on record for the LAF area (there was a similar one in April 1926). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Absolutely ripping here for the last 2 hours. Flakes keep getting bigger, quarter size snow globe out there. Sticking to everything, gorgeous out there 5 best I can measure fwiw. should have another hour a little less to go. Really nice band coming through on radar. Biggest single snowfall of the season for mby, on Easter. Par for the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackstraw Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Well the top of the "Miller" logo on a 16oz beer can is about 6 inches and my redneck measuring stick showed no red in 6 spots around the yard lol.

I went to bed around 10:30 and it was spitting very light snow and rain. Woke up around 5am and clear starry sky and a fresh blanket of snow.

Chicago WX Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 F+ grade for IND with this one for LAF. No headlines issued at all, yet they hit warning criteria snowfall. And it was evident early in the event, that the best banding was going to go through there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I decided to roll over & go to sleep at like 10:30 or so, I looked out the window one last time. It was picking up a little at that time. All well. BTW, NAM deserves some credit w/ this one. It was pretty consistent with track & amounts (taking into consideration the overdone NAM amounts from some of it’s runs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osubrett2 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Very sharp gradient along I-70 in Ohio it sounds like. South of downtown, the cars were barely covered and maybe 1" on fence posts and elevated surfaces. Plenty of grassy patches still exposed and almost all of Schiller Park was still green.

Tim from Springfield (IL) Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 17 hours ago, Chicago WX said: Warning criteria snow in central IL. 0700 PM SNOW HAVANA 40.30N 90.06W 04/01/2018 M6.5 INCH MASON IL CO-OP OBSERVER 5 hours ago, Chicago WX said: F+ grade for IND with this one for LAF. No headlines issued at all, yet they hit warning criteria snowfall. And it was evident early in the event, that the best banding was going to go through there. Same with ILX at least on the northern end of the system--the 6.5 report in Havana is across the Illinois River from a county that AFAIK was NOT under any headlines at all (Fulton)--and a report of at least a 4.5 in the far SW corner of this huge county (Astoria). Just returned from family's northwest of Peoria and it looks like in my SPI suburb (Chatham) the snow's wrath skirted the city but Sherman/Williamsville had a robust snowfall. Same immediately west of Peoria--looks like the storm's "have-nots" in that area were along IL-8 (Elmwood/Yates City) area but IL-116 corridor was the "haves" (Farmington/Trivoli/Hanna City). Saw my first report of a car off the ditch along 116 east of Hanna City (before the Farmington Road junction). Most likely huge N-S differences in snowfall reports between the north and south sides of PIA (N have-nots, S Haves) and N & S SPI (reverse of PIA). Looks like US-136 was ground zero for the heaviest snow at least west of I-55 (the SB off-ramp on I-155 Exit 10 for 136 north of Lincoln) was still in atrocious condition as of 10:30 this morning. Not too far from the northern Logan County (WWA county) border with Tazewell (NO WWA). ILX should have eventually added all their CWA counties north of I-70 EXCEPT Knox (Galesburg), Stark, and Marshall to the WWA. At first with an extension along a Canton-Bloomington line (Fulton, Tazewell, McLean), then eventually to Peoria and Woodford and all of the immediate PIA area. (with roughly the IL-116/US-24 southward areas more of the concern in those counties. And extended the end time to about 10AM to capture the morning commute.
