  3. We got about 1-1.5" here, i'll have to get my measuring stick, but I stuck my fingers in the snow on my back deck and its easily 1".

  4. I picked up 0.4" overnight. A band of 3-4" fell from southeast of Des Moines to the Quad Cities. That was a bit unexpected. http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/data/lsr_snowfall.png?1261154738?area=IA_statewide

  5. Yeah this is crazy weather! We started our snow season way early and now ending it way late with mostly mild weather in between! Anyway, I never found out it snowed and slept through it all as wasn't expecting more than the forecasted up to 1/2". Plus there weren't many reports of snow falling when I went to bed after 11pm when there also was a decent radar return right overhead at that point, but no snowfall since the column wasn't saturated yet. Anyway it was clear by dawn and like a January morning, all white and probably record cold! Ended up with around 2 1/4" on most elevated surfaces including the green grass but can't measure it there properly. Walkways etc not much accumulation since it retained heat.

  6. I have ice on my shoreline this morning. Still 2” of snow otg from Sunday’s snow and the squalls from the last 2 days. 19F with a chill of 13. My April heating bill is on pace to be bigger than March.

  9. I did the math regarding since you joined back in 2014, that you would have had to post 220 times per day on average to reach this number. I know you are a very frequent poster, but I somehow didn't believe that 502,779 number and I also remember seeing your total post count much lower just a few months ago. Thanks for clarifying!

  12. Starting on Saturday we look to have temps near normal here and all weekend as well (roughly 60) and then next week per the Euro we will move into the mid 60s early week to low 70s mid week. That will be amazing.

  13. It's nuts. I've seen snow flakes 5 out of the last 7 days. luckily not much accumulation though. Doesn't seem like April. before that it was 70's and large hail. Have insurance adjusters coming to check the roof later this week as there have been numerous reports around me of significant damage.

  15. The Cedar Rapids airport sure gets cold. Yesterday morning, it bottomed at 19º while no other sites in the area dropped below 22º or 23º. This morning, CR officially hit 15º! Here in the city we only hit 25º, and Iowa City officially only dropped to 27º.

  16. My goodness...that's friggin' cold bud! Thankfully, looks like there is a light at the end of the tunnel as the models are showing a surge of warmth later next week in between storm systems. I think Spring may finally start showing itself later this month.

  17. Surprised to see a WWA issued for my area back home as there is light/mod snow falling with temps in the upper 20s! Lot's of accidents being reported esp with no residual chemicals on the roadways and temps are pretty cold for mid April standards.

  18. Yes, this is going to happen. It happens every year, why wouldn't it happen?

  20. Yeah. Going to be cold wet day regardless. I'll laugh if we get a change up and get our biggest snowfall of the year in mid-april.

  21. Best hope is to be under that narrow rippage band, even moderate snow will have trouble accumulating. There's going to be a lot of un happy people tomorrow, I'll probably be one of them

  25. I know he posts a lot on here, but 502,777 posts sounds far out even for a very frequent poster. Is this number really correct??

  26. Bill R KETV/Omaha says 1-3” due to the way the sun tilts in April which will cause sig. melting

  27. their Facebook post says heavier band could waver 25-75 miles north or south lmao

  28. Well that escalated quickly! Looks of bust potential with this system as well, where the narrow heavy snow band sets up will be crucial.

  29. Big flakes falling again. Now that the sun's lower, it's actually trying to accumulate. Still not gonna with a temp of 37.4*F.

  30. You can see where it’s going, though, with the negatively tilted ridge axis off CA and building -NAM (haven’t seen that in awhile during late April/May).

  31. Lol just a casual 12-15" for Omaha/Lincoln on the 18z NAM. I'll be surprised to get 10% of that.

  35. Yeah, definitely discouraging to see the rain for early next week keep getting put off. But my gut feeling is that some sort of pattern change is coming. Models are typically too quick with those and that’s why we are seeing the delays right now. At least the weekend is now looking cooler and cloudier than it did a couple days ago.

  37. Enjoy a nice April snow hit, and then enjoy as it melts a day later. It’s a win-win. Good luck down there.

  42. I just ran across some interesting news, at least for weather geeks in my area. Terry Swails, former tv met and local severe/snow geek, is moving to Portland, Maine for a couple years for a family adventure. They are planning to move back to the area/region when his daughter finishes high school. He is planning to continue his Iowa/midwest-centric website while he is living way out there. He's going to miss Iowa's severe storms, but he's going to love the nor'easters. When he moves back to this area he'll be bored to death by our nickel & dimer snowfalls.

  43. Anybody else living in urban/suburban areas noticing how much brighter the stars/planets are without all the factories operating & planes flying? Especially beautiful tonight.

  45. KC got off to a very fast start wrt spring, growing season was really early. Everything has bloomed in the last several weeks. We have had several freezes so far this month but from what I can see, no damage. All flowering trees are still good and all of our early season flowers we planted in March are doing great! So, April freezes don’t really matter that much unless the freezes are all day or temps are deep in the 20’s. Early season blooms are meant to take on some cold air. Plants have a way of protecting themselves.
