Hawkeye Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Well, any warmth is certainly out for my area.

Snowshoe Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Thundersleet!!!! Saw a big flash and then a few seconds later heard the rumble. My first thought was hail but later confirmed it was sleet, half melted snow and other semi-frozen rain. Fun stuff!!!

Snowshoe Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 The all-time April snowfall record in Wausau is 12.1" April 15-16th 1993. That record might fall this weekend. 1 Quote WISCONSIN RAPIDS Wisconsin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Warm front farther south? Until the last day or so, most models had the front pushing at least a bit north of Cedar Rapids.  Instead, it is stuck down around Ottumwa.

gabel23 Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I know one thing, these snowfall predictions keep going up. That has been the theme for every storm so far this year.
