Snowshoe Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 It would figure that today would be busy at work. Visibility down to half mile. Easily the best snowfall of the year.

Hawkeye Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 This was never expected to be much for the CR/IC area, but it didn't even live up to that. We got under a tenth of an inch of drizzle, followed by a couple tenths of an inch of snow. This was a classic case of heavy snow well north, heavy rain/storms well southeast, and not much in between. 1 Quote 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted April 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 N MI is getting pounded from that very intense defo band swinging through. I took a look at the last 96 images on radar and there was a blob of 30-35dbz returns. Temps in the mid 20's, wind and heavy snow in early April must have been amazing to experience. The heaviest stuff has just swung through, but man, that must have been some intense snow for quite a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowshoe Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Finally able to use the snowshoes! Here's some pics I took yesterday evening. About 6" on the ground then. The snow really picked up as we headed home. The pine trees always look awesome covered in snow. I especially liked how the young trees in the first pic look sad and depressed under the weight of the snow, 4 Quote WISCONSIN RAPIDS Wisconsin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
