Tom Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Thus far, ORD has picked up 1.4” since 7:00am. Some 2” reports south of town. We are officially double the monthly norms in April. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james1976 Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Pretty solid April snowstorm for Iowa. lsr_snowfall.pngI dont think that map is correct. I had close to 8 and that has me in the 4-6 area. Local radio said there were 8-10" reports.Or maybe i was just one of the lucky isolated areas. I took many measurements. I see Waterloo reported 5.4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 On my way back from the gym, I could tell from the clouds that the snow that is flying is definitely of the lake effect variety. Light lake effect snow showers still effecting parts of NE IL. Something I certainly won't forget. One of my friends lives near Ukraine village and he has 4" OTG from an intense weenie band that sat over the I-290 corridor. Who woulda thought we would see Lehs in Chicago on April 9th? Some local totals... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Pretty solid April snowstorm for Iowa. There was plenty of model disagreement and flopping around with the placement of the best band of snow as it spread southeast across Iowa. While the strength of the system waned, the placement was pretty darn good for the CR/IC area. Every good snowfall this winter had a nw to se track. North Central Iowa has been bullseyed by the last two big snow events. Combined, the two events dropped up to 2 feet of snow around Mason City. Quote season snowfall: 34.8" '22-23: 30.2" '21-22: 27.1" '20-21: 52.5" '19-20: 36.2" '18-19: 50.2" '17-18: 39.5" Average snowfall: ~30" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 The transient April sun has absolutely decimated the 3.3" of snowfall I received from this event. It's now down to shallow patches in shaded areas. Quote 2021-22 Snowfall: (Hiawatha) TOTAL: 10.2" (12/28: 3.0") (12/29: 0.8") (1/1: 6.4") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 This system also brings my total to 40.0" flat for the season. Combined with the event a week ago(forgot the day that left about a 1/2" of accumulation on grassy surfaces) If this winter could stop any time now, that'd be great. 2 Quote 2021-22 Snowfall: (Hiawatha) TOTAL: 10.2" (12/28: 3.0") (12/29: 0.8") (1/1: 6.4") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james1976 Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Schnack had Waterloo at 5.8" for a total on the news tonight.I only reached 36 today but the 7.8" is down to 1-2" with plenty of grass showing. Amazing what the April sun can do even though the air temp was barely above freezing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Just heard it snowed for 17 hours straight at ORD from this system. That's pretty remarkable given the time of year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaster220 Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) Just heard it snowed for 17 hours straight at ORD from this system. That's pretty remarkable given the time of year. Sure is! In Marshall the snow began at 4 am and finished at 10 pm. An 18 hr period, tho there were occasional breaks in the action. Another heavy cell swept thru about 8:15 pm dropping another inch taking my total for the day to 2.5". With the snow melting on my warm car, then temps plummeting well down into the 20's, I had the nastiest ice and snow removal ever for an April day. #READYFORSPRING! Edit: shoulda looked closer - KRMY hit 17F this morning, even colder than I thought. It felt better tho due to dead calm conditions.
