Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk God that April sucked. And coming just 4 years after 2014 which similarly had a much BA pattern locked in for the first 6-8 weeks or so of "spring," I was really afraid that was the new normal.

RCNYILWX Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 God that April sucked. And coming just 4 years after 2014 which similarly had a much BA pattern locked in for the first 6-8 weeks or so of "spring," I was really afraid that was the new normal.When April 2019 started off better, felt optimistic, and then had incessant precip the 2nd half plus of that month including the two big snow events. The genuinely nice Aprils are rare around here, but the truly awful ones like 2014 and 2018 definitely stand out.

Chicago Storm Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 One of the best looking and most textbook examples of occlusion we have probably seen in this area/region for as long as I can remember... 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Blizzard warning replaced this afternoon with a wsw for 6-8 inches tonight as snow has picked back up the past couple hours after a lull this afternoon. Ratios today were closer to 6-7:1 so totals will be much lower than forecast but the snow is extremely dense. A couple pics from earlier today. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The storm sure was a dud outside of the higher elevations/huron mountains (and even there, much lower than forecast). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The storm sure was a dud outside of the higher elevations/huron mountains (and even there, much lower than forecast). For sure. Herman over to Eagle Mine to my area received a foot overnight, with me seeing another 8 today. Herman and Eagle mine will report in the morning their totals for today. South east of here Mqt received 8.3 overnight and 6.1 today with a LE of 2.5”. if in fact I see 6-8 tonight I will exceed the 2 foot mark so still a great late season storm. MQT might break 20” as well. Had ratios been the 10:1 expected, the bigger totals would have panned out here in the higher terrain. Marquette the city was just a bust all together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Solid band of snow has been parked here along the higher terrain ridge for a few hours now. Should do well tonight. I do notice it’s a bit west of the weather office so idk how they’ll fare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwx Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Accumulation was basically 0 today. Shows that in these marginal edge of season situations snowfall rate really determines everything 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Marquette yesterday ended up with 14" of snow on 2.40" of liquid. Talk about a complete cement job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 We maxed out at about 5 inches on the ground around midnight on Wednesday. We switched to mix after that and we only had about 2 inches after that. One thing about this though is how wet it is here now. We went from basically no puddles when it rained two weeks ago to now puddles everywhere on the lawns and sidewalks. GRB has had 1.36 inches in the last three days and 2.76 inches in the last three weeks. Talk about a turnaround here 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Had a period of snow in the area Wednesday morning, which then transitioned to RASN by midday and then RA for the afternoon.There was another period of RASN this morning, which transitioned to RA by midday.No measurable snowfall accumulation at ORD with either bout of precip the past two days.

cyclone77 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 1" of snow here on Tuesday. Took heavy rates to add up to that as the ground was wet and it was the middle of the day. That snow was completely gone by yesterday morning. Snowed much of yesterday but it didn't even dust the grass. Shows how hard it was coming down on Tuesday. Saw a few bursts of white rain earlier this afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
