It's been surprisingly dry. A dry April was bound to happen at some point especially when you consider the last few April's. I believe 2018 was the wettest April on record. 

Sucks we couldn't cash in a couple more cm's in March and April. YYZ fell short of 140cm by 0.8cm. 

Rare (for April) combination of below average precip and above avg snow here in April. DTW at 1.71" precip (-0.50" to date) and 4.9" snow (+3.2")

Won't end up dry due to the upcoming soaker this weekend and a cutoff low around the end of the month. This April is currently at 2.45" for the month as of today. Haven't had a dry April here since 2016. Cincinnati, on the other hand, hasn't had a dry April since 2013.

7.3” looks to be the final snow total for April 2020. It’s been a dry month here as well, only 0.86” of precipitation so the majority has been in frozen form.

Honestly it’s nice to have a dry April for a change. The Mississippi flooding isn’t close to as bad as previous years as we also had a gradual melt off. Some of my favorite metro area trails through the bottomlands along the river were flooded most of the previous two years and are already almost good to go.

Beautiful weekend on tap once again. Sitting outside and some of the honeysuckle and birch are beginning to leaf out. I see the large oak also is budding.

I'm really enjoying this slow soaker of a rain storm here. Radar estimates of 2.5" so far here and higher amounts NW of Peoria. It was getting pretty dry and my plants weren't liking it. Plus this rain should really get the morel season going. 

This storm track would have been more appreciated in January though :lol:

We're currently sitting at 1.25" for the month. We average 2.70" in April. This will be our driest April since 2016 too. 

Quite the difference between Southern Ohio and Southern ON/SE Michigan.

Ended up hitting 70 for the first time in more than 2 weeks before it became completely overcast. No more 70s until sometime next month.

Finished with 0.44".  Not all that far away at DVN they only picked up 0.05".  Pretty steep gradient along the northwest fringe, like so many winter events.  

So far, DAY only got 0.01" so far from this soaker, but more to come from it throughout tomorrow afternoon.

The main storm system will really wrap up across the Lakes tomorrow...

While early day high temps will be in the 50's tomorrow, temps will likely drop into the 40's the rest of the day, with a lengthy period of rain and wind from late morning into early tomorrow night. Some guidance has upwards of a few inches of rain across N IL/S WI.

Yeah looks nasty.  Thursday also looks like a real loser especially around Lake Michigan eastward.

28 days into the month and the warmest temperature YYZ has recorded is ~59F. Although there's 2 more days left, its looking unlikely we'll beat that. If so, it'll be the lowest maximum temperature ever recorded in April. On another note, it's been 205 days since the last time YYZ hit 68-70F (20C). The weekend looks comparatively mild, but if we can avoid hitting 68F until after next Tuesday, we'll be in 2nd place. 1st place will be tough to beat as it stands at 243 days back in 1977-78. Almost seems like an anomaly compared to the others.

36 and rainy this morning.  Temp probably wont go anywhere today and neither will the rain.  Rain gauge reading .81 so far with another .5 - 1.0" through tonight.  Good day to read by the fire.

After nearly 6 months otg the snowpack is finally relinquishing its grip and receding, albeit stubbornly.
