Nothing says May like snow! Snow is falling in the Rockies today with this system as well. NWS says the upper level temps are a 1 in 10 year event.

I was waiting for someone to pull the trigger and issue a Blizzard Warning! I don't think I have ever seen one in late April! #NatureIsABeast

As they tend to do, models underplayed the moisture interception by the convection down south.  We only got some light rain totalling 0.17".  The NAM and HRRR have little additional rain through midday Sunday as the Missouri blob continues to prevent moisture transport into Iowa.

season snowfall: 34.8"

'22-23: 30.2"      '21-22: 27.1"      '20-21: 52.5"      '19-20: 36.2"      '18-19: 50.2"      '17-18: 39.5"

Average snowfall: ~30"

Some reporting from the Scenic River office here. Didn't think we'd beat the December 2015 storm so fast but here we are. Wasn't more rain overall but just fell in a much more compressed period of time.

 

 

Full report from GRDA: Grand River Dam Authority

1 hr · Illinois River Update (7:30AM, Sunday, April 30) from Ed Fite and the GRDA Scenic River Operations Office:

 

This notice is provided to safeguard property and protect lives.

Last evening’s precipitation, will exacerbate this weekend’s major flooding of the Illinois River Basin. Water levels and flows projected for Watts, Chewey and Tahlequah gage sites will rise to new record highs.

 

THIS EVENT WILL EXCEED THE WATER LEVELS AND INFLOWS FROM THE ILLINOIS RIVER BASIN FLOOD OF RECORD ON DECEMBER 28, 2015.

 

WHAT’S PROJECTED: Illinois River gage sites for the Watts gage site will crest near 30.5 feet later this morning; Chewey gage site should crest at approx. 34.4 feet late this evening extending into Monday; and, Tahlequah gage site is set to crest on Monday at 32.2 feet. The projected levels and flows will cause catastrophic damage to structures, roads and campgrounds located immediately adjacent to the river.

 

 

 

Information on Barren Fork Creek and Flint Creek: Rainfall pushed the Barren Fork Creek to a crest of 25.2 feet early this morning at Eldon, OK (OK SH51 Bridge) gage site. Barren Fork Creek stream levels and flows presently falling. Flint Creek crested yesterday at 18.31 feet at the gage site near Kansas, OK (US412 Hwy Bridge). That gage site is reporting the stream level and flows continue to be falling.

 

To pinpoint the exact placement of the heaviest rains in the Illinois River Basin over the course of this weekend has been a daunting challenge. Therefore, the exact stage of forecast crests may change.

 

To report emergencies, please contact GRDA Law Enforcement Dispatcher at (918) 256-0911.

I'm sitting at 3" of rain and probably pretty much done. I don't think the deformation band will have much left when it swings through. Looks like the snow will stay mostly west of me by about 60 miles. Overall, I have to give Hastings NWS some credit, they actually did a really good job with this one.

ORD picked up 2.24" through Sunday evening before the heavier rains moved back in.  Waiting to see what the final tallies will be from this extremely wet system.  Nonetheless, this has been a fascinating storm system from a Blizzard to tons of severe wx reports.  Wonder what this storm will do in the next cycle by late June???

How did your winter stack up this past cold season?

Above average for me finally. My 95" is the most I've seen since moving to Utah...but I also am in a snowier location than I used to live. :)
