I would expect an uptick in Jan. 2020 birthdays if some of those amounts and winds pan out lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UMB WX Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Wife said the rumble we heard was thunder. I attributed it to the power plant. She wins. Snow sticking to our road now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNstorms Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 75-83mph winds? No thanks. But still I wouldn't be surprised to see gusts to 60mph in spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNstorms Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 Some of the heaviest snow I've ever seen. Also a bit of wind. Some places down south have it even heavier right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 This storm is definitely an impressive wind machine. Several ob sites out in northern/northwest IA gusting over 50mph this morning. Storm Lake is currently gusting to 62mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Measured 6.8” on the deck. Lots of compaction so true total is undoubtedly higher. Roads are a sheet of slush and ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 The wind has been howling for 24 hours. We've had a couple thundershowers this morning, but they are racing through so quickly they aren't dropping much rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Getting a burst of pea sized hail and sleet now. Maybe even some liquid too. Really coming down hard. Edit: NWS issued a special weather statement for a line of strong thunderstorms. Didn’t hear any thunder, but definitely a dynamic system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I can now add Thundersleet to weather events I’ve expirenced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockwiz Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 We lucked out here... only about an inch of liquid versus the 3 inches they were estimating. Just to the north and west they got quite a bit more snow, and to the south and east they got quite a bit more liquid precipitation (in the form of freezing rain) .. we managed to avoid the freezing rain and the heavy snow and got about 8 inches of snow and sleet here. https://www.weather.gov/fsd/20190411-BlizzardIcestorm-CWA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
