The Canadian smoke has arrived, and it was particularly nasty today. Had to close my windows as it made my throat burn so bad.

I wanted to go out for it... But I f'ed up and forgot my tripod (I'm in Fargo for the weekend). So here's a spring pic from home instead.

I'm fine being in the cold sector of this storm. Any rain is beneficial after the dud of a winter. We're actually above normal precip in March/April between the late March snowstorm and the past 2 rainstorms.

Absolutely insane seeing all the damage in Nebraska and Iowa.

These are, without a doubt, the biggest snowflakes I have ever seen, and only one storm comes even close (a lake enhanced band when I lived in Ohio). It's accumulating so fast which is insane for a temp in the mid-30s.

Ptype is now snow.

Light rain the entire morning has switched to moderate sleet. 36°F.

Looks like I'm sitting out of this one. Have fun, people down south.

Pretty nice snow squall coming through, already have a dusting down.

It definitely looks cool on the ground. It compacted quite a bit though, so it looks nothing close to 15" The fact that this was a long-duration event made it pretty nonchalant feeling. There weren't really any heavy rates.

Official total from AXN: 15.5". From eyeballing I'd say about a foot on the ground. SUPER beneficial, especially with no recent significant precip and none in sight.

COCORAHS reporters are saying around 10-12" storm total here.

I've probably hit 6" storm total at this point. Here's the view from my work's parking lot. Still ripping pretty well.

I genuinely don't think I've gotten any additional snowfall since I went to bed at 10 last night

Cool bug fact: None of this dry air that I am currently sitting in was modeled. At all. Radar doesn't look to improve for a while, either.
