April 13-14th Spring Storm System

[East Dubzz]

Lol! 

 

+RN here currently. Don't think will get the 2"+ amounts advertised. 

Heavier stuff definitely set up further west than expected. That said, I'm still probably going to finish at 2" or more today, and 3+" for the weekend.

[East Dubzz]

With moderate rain still falling, I have 1.7" from round 2 today, pushing my weekend total to 3.18"

[NEJeremy]

Had just under 1.7" of rain here in NW Omaha and now the snow has started   Supposed to end up with around an inch of snow

[gabel23]

Finally NE is getting some much needed moisture, its been a long time coming.  Hopefully that helps the farmers out there.  Wondering if the grass turns green bc of the Spring snows.

Best thing for it; I just laid down some fertilizer too which will really help. I ended up with 3" of snow and .3" of rain and should be right around an inch of liquid which should help. There were numerous wrecks in my area, wasn't as bad as last weeks ride home in the snow but by know means a picnic! 

[East Dubzz]

Just good to see you guys out there getting some form of precipitation.

[East Dubzz]

Hit the 2" mark... Now at 3.5" for the weekend.

[Geos]

Pouring again here. I expect that will be the case on and off tonight.

 

As of 9:30pm - 0.76" has fallen today. 1.02" for the whole event so far.

[East Dubzz]

From noon on yesterday, the total ended up being 2.9"..

 

Which then put my weekend total at 4.38".. Quite the weekend!

[Hawkeye]

4.52" of rain here, certainly more than expected.  A few spots got over 5 inches.

[Money]

A lot of places in Central and NE Wisconsin picked up 2-4 inches of snow that accumulated on all surfaces. 

 

Waupaca had 3.5. Green Bay had about 4

[james1976]

that was quite the storm system. about every kind of spring weather imaginable.
i woke up to 1.5" of snow this morning!

[gosaints]

About an inch of snow here

[Geos]

1.22" of rain here total.

[Sciascia]

LOT with a SWS out for snow in the area later. Mention an inch on grassy surfaces, but also say it could come down pretty good. It's always a little fun to see snow in mid-April.

[Geos]

The NAM says non event west of the lake, but the GFS says a dusting. So will see who's right.

[East Dubzz]

A couple flakes fell around 11 this morning. Nothing exciting, but interesting to see.

[Geos]

6" is pretty impressive for April. Usually those kinds of heavy rainfall events are reserved during the summer - a product of training t-storms.

[Tom]

Snow falling in western suburbs...

[Geos]

Been flurrying here in Racine for about 2 hours. Not amounting to anything.

[Niko]

Folks.....very happy to say that a snow event is headed my way tonight and into tomorrow morning, which will break the all time snowiest winter ever in the Detroit metro area and my area too. Im currently at 91.3" and the record is 93.5". My forecast is calling for 2-4inches tonight with snowfall rates an inch an hour accompanied by thunder as well. Wow...who would have known that on April 14th and 15th, my snowfall record will break. Thats why its "Never over until its over".

This from Noaa:

COULD CERTAINLY SEE SNOWFALL RATES ON THE ORDER OF
AN INCH PER HOUR ACCOMPANIED BY THUNDER ON A LOCAL BASIS. FOLLOWED
AN ARW/NMM BLEND FOR QPF AMOUNTS DUE TO GENERAL CONSENSUS WITH
LARGER SCALE MODELS AND THEIR SIMILAR HANDING OF FINE SCALE
FEATURES, PARTICULARLY INVOF THE METROPOLITIAN AREA. THE FORECAST IN
ITS CURRENT FORM CALLS FOR BREAKING THE ALL-TIME RECORDS FOR
SNOWIEST WINTER SEASON AT BOTH DETROIT AND FLINT (SEE CLIMATE
SECTION).

[Sciascia]

Sweet to hear Nikos! Hope you guys break that record.

 

Over here, ABC 7 running with 1-3" slushy accumulations.

Thanks..hope so too. After the record is broken....I will certainly be ready for Spring!

[Geos]

Facebook: NWS LOT calling for a dusting on the grass. -SN here in Racine, but the flakes are tiny. Almost looks like mist.

[Tom]

Snow bands starting to strengthen and fill in...should be coming down at a good clip in McHenry/Lake counties...

[Scott26]

I can vouch for that. It's coming down at a decent clip over here. This is what I really love about Meteorology. Saturday I measured 1 inch diameter hail in my backyard. Then I played basketball in near 80 degree weather. Now it's 35 degrees and snowing.

[Geos]

Grass is white here, but that's about the only surface cold enough - except the trees. Just a tad above 0°C

 

Will post pics later.

Saturday late afternoon, I experienced one heck of a fierce T'stm too. The winds must have gusted at least 90mph and sustained at 60mph. Hail was penny size, maybe a tad larger. My area was so white, it looked like it had snowed. I picked up 0.5" of hail. A severe T'stm indeed. Power outages were all over my area and I did not have power for 2 days. My wife and I were with candles throughout the entire ordeal. For a minute, I thought it was a tornado, so I told my wife to run downstairs in the basement. I wanted to stay a little bit more and watch the action from my bay window. It was a scary scene.

[Niko]

Does anybody know why the winds from Saturdays T'stm in my area went from suddenly blowing in opposite directions in a matter of maybe couple of minutes? It was very weird. Thats when I thought it could have been a tornado. I.E, winds were blowing from east to west and then went from west to east.

[Geos]

Some pictures taken a bit north and west of here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[East Dubzz]

Well at least that looks pretty cool, Geos.

The winter that does not want to end. Winter 2013-14 will be remembered for a long time.

That's for sure. Everyone's mood changed once it started snowing today. lol

 

Back edge about to come through now. Probably end just shy of an inch.

[Sciascia]

Fun little event. Deck is covered, rooftops covered. Still going at a light/mod clip. Doesn't matter to me if it melts on the surface, still loving it.

[Tom]

Wondering what ORD finishes up with...maybe come close to tying #2 place???

[Niko]

[Geos]

Looks to be done with the accumulating snow now.

 

Few more pics from the yard.

First one it was too windy for it to stick on the trees.

 

Wow... it doesn't look like it, but I tagged 2.0" here. 

 

Made 80" for the season!
