Iowawx Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I measured 2.3 inches at 6:00pm. Based on radar, I think that around 3.5-4 inches looks good for a total here.

Andrew NE Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I don’t recall seeing a single snowflake or sprinkle today here in Omaha.

hlcater Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 This is a very fluffy snow, more characteristic of December like bud mentioned. Absolutely unreal for April.

Congrats to those to the east in Iowa, I’m more than ready for spring like temps by midweek.Yeah I didn't see a flake or sprinkle either today, just a cold, gray and blustery day in Omaha... looks like after tomorrow, we will be getting our long awaited "warm-up" for a few days at least! For those that wanted snow, looks like the rich got a little bit richer today (i.e. Southern Minnesota, Central and Eastern Iowa)... good for them.

Tom Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Waking up this morning, I wasn't expecting to see much of anything, but the landscape is white again and I just measured 1.3" on my deck. Temp is at 31F so there is some fluff to the snow and not the wet variety. Another stat padder around here and brings us closer to our seasonal norms. I just glimpsed at the radar and noticed there is some Lehs ongoing into Cook county from the NE winds. Incredible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 As daylight emerges, light snow continues to fall, a peaceful yet beautiful scene...in a few days, it will fell like summer...if you love the weather, this is about as extreme as it gets in April from winter to summer in a matter of a few days.
