Castaway Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Was ripping for a bit earlier. Then picked up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Absolute rippage under these heavier returns reminds me of of two weeks ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuanis Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Were not seeing heavy enough rates yet to accumulate, grass is still wet and green (and getting long). Whats the deal in Milwaukee? Low dew points/dry NE winds eating away at the precip? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2Otown_WX Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Even when I move almost 1,000 miles the -NAO still screws me out of a snowstorm. Hilarious. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Widespread TSSN in NW. IA currently. A couple of 3-4" reports in that area a bit ago as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when it was ripping like crazy here a little while ago, it was only sticking to colder surfaces. Probably would've needed a much longer duration.

Nope, and after 10-15 minutes of rippage, we popped back over to rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have heavy precip still occurring in N IL at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve had a number of events this winter where they were stubborn to change their thoughts until the event was underway and it was too late to adjust. This will be another one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Definitely underwhelming so far, relative to expectations. Dusting on grass, nothing on paved surfaces. The rates just aren’t high enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Teeny flakes in Madison, not sticking to pavement. WSW will bust hard unless things turn around soon, and I'm fine with that.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlon62 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Definitely taking a back seat to the last storm. Around an inch on lawns, parked vehicles and rooftops. Fast start this morning but things have stalled with flurries atm. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastFromTheEast Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Radar lighting up in Iowa. Looking forward to seeing some TSSN reports the next few hours. Noticeably larger flake size the last few minutes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I remember the April 23-25 2005 snowstorm in SEMI brought upwards of 16” in Northern Oakland county (40 miles NNW of Detroit) it was a stalled out low that sat and spun for over 2 days. What I remembered is that 90% of the accumulation happened at night. During the day it rarely stuck. Moral of the story is that.... u start approaching very late April into May. Now, snow has to happened at night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, snow has to happened at night. Actually i remember the exact opposite, at least here. Which was amazing. It snowed all afternoon Apr 23 into the overnight and we barely got an inch. Then heavy blinding snow hit during the late morning and early afternoon which is when most of the accumulation occurred, about 5 more inches. It then lightened in intensity by evening and though snow continued it hardly accumulated any more. Total snow here 6.7". Of course that is the exception not the rule. Obviously for the most part nighttime is a help in spring snows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U r not gonna miss that. Lol So Detroit has one subpar Winter and that means hes not missing much? He missed 62" last Winter (i think he moved just before winter) and the avg this decade is like mid-50s. Even with the misses snow fell very often and there were multiple ice storms. My statement to powerball remains. He left a place where it snows all the time and goes to a place that can go a Winter without a single flake. I would not survive, he does not miss snow. We are not cut from the same cloth lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was literally a 3 day storm in Southeast Michigan so it's possible that different things happened in both places, but I am positive of the daytime accumulation here because it was absolutely shocking to me.
