I was out mowing yesterday and was able to catch a double rainbow after a brief shower passed by; I haven't seen one of these in a long time!

It's the Greek Orthodox Easter he is referring too.

Decided I liked Illinois_WX's title idea from last year, so I stole it I know plenty of people probably won't care, but I am posting this for the few who do care. I will be moving out of Nebraska this upcoming Summer for school-related reasons. I have really enjoyed these past three years in Lincoln, and I do wish I could stay here. But, sadly, that is not possible. I will be moving to the Toledo, Ohio area, which had a craptastic Winter this year so hopefully that means it will correct itself in my first Winter there . Snowstorm83, you'll be the only Lincoln poster left so I'm looking to you to keep me informed. And to the rest of the Nebraska posters, I will obviously continue rooting for Nebraska to get hit (just as long as I don't get screwed in return!). Thanks to all of the Nebraska posters and all the rest on the board who have supported my style of posting for the past 2 years, and I look to continue it in Toledo! And to those Nebraska posters, while I may disagree with you sometimes, keep posting the way you do. We all have different styles of observing the weather and different levels of investment in storms and I feel like that's what makes this forum great. I'll still be in Nebraska until June so let's get some severe action before I head off!

This is the view a few blocks from my house at about 320’ up. Towards point defiance the hill is only 200’ in elevation or so but a few miles down the elevation goes up to 300-400’

It will be gone by Sunday and hopefully it's the last. I was going to try and open pool this weekend but that's not going to happen. If it's going to snow then might as well go BIG. Enjoy the West Coast!

Nice evening.

Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but it sure looks like the HRRR continues to drift south.

and less than 6 months until the forums get interesting again unless we get some thunderstorms or something unexpected this summer.

Less than 2 months until days start getting shorter.

3km NAM:

Yup. 2 weeks ago it was 75F here and 48 hours later I had 8” otg. Good luck down there. Fortunately it’ll melt as fast as it falls.

Wow this is insane!!! Don’t want any snow let alone 3-10” of snow like some models are showing on the ground for our Easter Sunday LOL!!

It's in the low 60s right now in most of eastern Iowa and we're looking at 6+" of snow for the north half of the state tomorrow. Truly incredible.

Looks like the vort should be on the Leeside of the rockies by 0z tonight when relatively rapid intensification of the storm should occur.

Ukie has me jacking. Interested in Euro for sure.

Mid 20s following the storm isnt something gardeners wanna see

Have to imagine the further south you go the more budding and growth has occurs in plant life. That could lead to some ugliness

Can't see snow on UK, but it's definitely coming in further south than most models. http://img.meteocentre.com/models/ukmet_amer_12/P1_GZ_D5_PN_036_0000.gif

GEM looking similar to RGEM in terms of overall snow placement.

12z FV-3 drops a crazy amount of snow/rain for Northern IL and back towards Iowa. Either way it could be an historic snowfall event for a good amount of posters in here.

No I’m in North Tacoma it’s 350’ here.

Really large spread in thermal profiles in models as well the further I dig.

I'm actually gonna be in Rosemont IL tomorrow Haha. It's literally taking my path of travel.

It must be picking up on some lake enhancement for the metro area.

Sounds like some perfect summers on the way for you!

Enjoy it out there! Yeah it's crazy. It was 85 here on Sunday and even today its 60. Quite the change coming.

This is one dynamic and potent hybrid clipper...in late April?? It’s been a rare month for producing late season snows in the region. Thankfully, I won’t be experiencing this taste of winter, instead, I’ll be cruising up the Pacific coast Hwy checking out the beach towns of Laguna, New Port Beach and finally make our way into the Santa Monica/LA area during the day on Sat. I’ll be thinking of you guys! Good luck to those who want to see it snow and the elusive Thundersnow!

Sure, ebb and flow theory isn't ground breaking news. Using a percent of average map is not a good indictor of that however.

I just looked up the snow fall records for April 27 and April 28. For Grand Rapids for the 27th the record is 0.2" set in 2004 in 1992, 1953, and 1950 there was a trace. For April 28 the record at Grand Rapids is 0.9" in 1926 0.2" fell with a trace in 2012 and 1979. At Lansing for the 27 the record is 2.2" in 1950 with a trace in 2004,1966, 1953 and 1931. For the 28th at Lansing the record is just a trace set in 1961, 1926 and 1920. At Muskegon the record for the 27th is a trace in 2004,1988,1976,1953, and 1950. for the 28th the record at Muskegon is 1.6" in 1961 1.5" in 1979 and a trace in 1953 and 1909. At Kalamazoo the record for the 27th is 4.5" in 1950 with a trace in 1953,1945 and 1931. For the 28th the record is just a trace in 1961. So you can see our area has not received much snow in late April

The whole "due" theory is so overused on here. It's the weather, it's going to do what it wants to do whether or not it's due or not. Our precip is well above average out here as well yet we're not entering a dry period.

DMX with a nice write up. Talking potential thundersnow with intense winds. High snowfall rates should overcome warm ground temps. Temps expected to fall during the day.

Excellent!

I'm gonna be like you and Niko now. Scary.

If the above happens, It would be the first time that I've personally had measurable snowfall AFTER mowing my grass for the first time in spring. I lived in an apartment back on 4/25/05 so I didn't have to cut grass.

Yes I'm a dairy farmer currently. I want to quit at the end of the year though, if I can find a buyer for my dairy goats ! The milk gets shipped up to a plant in Belmont, Wisconsin where they make non- GMO & regular goat cheese. The milk I sell is non-GMO. (All of the grain & hay is tested for "genetically modified organisms" before I feed it) And yes, I do some gardening & do all of the yard work, which is a large area. My brother does the crop farming. Some of the later trees around here are still bare as well.
