Chicago Storm Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Looks like final snowfall totals of 3-5" in the KC metro area (As Don mentioned earlier), and 1-3" in the Springfield, MO area...Obviously a record event for those areas. Looks like a dusting to 2" reports down around STL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 It is sticking here to the rooftop and the grass, started to stick once we got below 3/4SM about an hour ago. Had this been coming at dark like originally expected we'd already probably have a couple inches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 As of 8 pm, light accumulations of snow have been reported around the greater Indianapolis area. It is all but certain that 2021 is the first case with measurable snowfall there on April 20th. 1.5” of snow had also been reported at Romulus, MI. Overall, it looks like Detroit remains in line for 2”-4” of snow, Indianapolis for 1”-2”, and Toledo with 3”-6”. However, it appears that snowfall amounts will be a little less than I first thought for Toronto (2”-4”/5 cm - 10 cm). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnwx85 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Mostly had white rain here today. Just a DAB here. Saw some reports of 2 to 2.5 inches in northeast Indiana though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 As of 8 pm EDT, Indianapolis had picked up 0.9” of snow. That sets a daily record for April 20. Prior to 2021, no measurable snow had been recorded on April 20th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 FWA is obliterating their record snowfall for the date (0.2"-1953). 2.4" at 7:00 (Eastern) and still getting heavy snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 It appears that Indianapolis has reached 1.0” of snow. That would make today’s snowfall only the second on record where 1.0” or more snow fell on or after April 20th. The only other time that occurred was way back on May 2, 1897. This is also Indianapolis’ first measurable snowfall on or after April 20th since May 6, 1989. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frog Town Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Here in Toledo we have 5", so far. Crazy to see 5" on the my table but a dusting on the concrete. Will probably hit 7" before compaction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 And yet there wasnt even an advisory.

donsutherland1 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 IND’s advisory criteria can be found here: https://www.weather.gov/ind/criteria Although 3”-5” is the threshold, there is an optional 2”-4” threshold. So, it was an event for which the NWS could have gone either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was January, of course I dont think an advisory should have been issued. But it's almost May ! The eastern part of the state (Richmond) which is under a different office was under an Advisory. Not sure if Wilmington has the same criteria as Indy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
