Changed over to snow a bit ago, with 0.2" thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think there's a good chance that what falls tonight/early tomorrow morning will be it for any kind of snow for the season. Unless something bizarre happens in May.

May get another few tenths out of this last blob of precip rotating down from the north. This is one of the latest accumulating snows I can remember. There's probably been others, but I can't remember any specifically. Was thinking about that earlier. There was like 1-1.5" on 4/14/2007 when I was in LAF and I have vague memories of the May 1989 snow, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went on sort of a jeb walk down to the post office to drop off a few bills. One last walk through falling snow until next fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pitching that day in a pony league game...14 years old...snow was coming down pretty good, enough to whiten the field. It was amazing.

Luftfeuchtigkeit Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I ended up with 4 inches at my house. One of the prettiest snows I can remember recently. Madison airport got 7.2 inches on the other side of town. 13.5 inches for the month has got to be one of the snowiest Aprils on record. Also 7 days with measurable snow seems like it would be close to a record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 0.5" of snow here. The ground is warm enough that it's already started to melt along the fringes near buildings and paved areas. Should be gone by 9-10am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 0.5” at ORD and 0.4” here last night.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Got about 7" here. Definitely the prettiest snow this winter ironically. Today about half of this snow melted and I will be surprised if it lasts until Saturday morning with the upcoming temps and April sun angle.
