cyclone77 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 DVN/MLI with 3.3"/4.6". A very nice event to finish out the season to be sure, but the saturating process definitely cut a good inch off the totals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totsata Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Ripping pretty nice right now, but it appears will do worse than Wednesday. I am not sure if temps dipped lower a couple of days ago, but living on the fifth floor and can't get things to stick much on the metal balcony rail, which had a couple of inches a couple of inches Wed. Nevertheless a picturesque way to end a weird winter. Glad to see a lot of 3+" reports! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimillman Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 This is the park outside my building. Half of the ground is bare, the other half covered in half an inch of slush. The trees are bare. Lol Had about an inch of solid accumulation on Wednesday. Again, massive underperformer for the millions of people in Chicago proper 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwohweather Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 What a storm for the middle of April. I'm actually impressed at the size of the swath of snow, this definitely looks like a 3-6" for the lower GL today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 This definitely ended up north of guidance for IL/IN/MI/OH portion.Best band currently runs from E IA-N IL-S MI. This should have been much further south.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciascia Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 With 2.2 inches reported at ORD as of 7am, this officially makes it the 2nd consecutive April (3.9” currently) where more snow fell than the December (2.0”) before it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it was a fairly widespread ~2-5" for much of the LOT cwa except far south and core of Chicago, but if anything the higher totals seem to be north of I-80. Did not anticipate that.

RogueWaves Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 More useless out of season snow. World's screwed-up so why would the wx be an exception. M4.0 on best elevated surf's at 11 am. All since is just WhtRN. Never a fan of stat-padder events in a lame-azz winter especially. Sure hope this is the last flakes of the season.

hawkeye_wx Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I forgot to mention that my 3.5" of snow had only 0.28" of liquid in it, so the ratio is 12.5 to 1. That's pretty good for mid April. It certainly helped that my area had perfect timing. All of our snow fell from 12-6am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a jebwalk when that band was coming through. I was in heaven, the scenery was just amazing. Don't even care that its April 17th 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllinoisWedges Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Pretty lame. Probably topped out around 2.5" here but the melting has taken a toll already. Insane storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Man, this one is the textbook definition of a stat-padder. We picked up 3.5" of snow between midnight and 6am, while I slept, there was zero accumulation on the pavement, so no cleanup at all, and the snow will be totally gone by 1pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
