Snowshoe Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Snow took a little break this morning but is back snowing hard again. Furnace vents were covered this morning so those needed dug out before CO poisoning was an issue. Drifts well over 3 feet in spots. Churches, taverns, stores, darn near everything is closed. It's been a long time since i've seen snow like this. We might eclipse Dec-Feb snow totals in a weekend. 5 Quote WISCONSIN RAPIDS Wisconsin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Paul Storm Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 A few more pics during cleanup. Took me over an hour to clear the driveway even with the snowblower. It’s already covered again. Some businesses decided to either stay closed or open late today. Winnipeg Jets got diverted to Duluth yesterday, turned around and flew back to Winnipeg. Their flight this morning was scheduled to depart at 9am for tonight’s game against the Wild. Talk about home ice advantage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 About 90 minutes ago I measured 0.8" on the snow board and 1.3" on the deck. I'm not sure what's up with that. Maybe snow blew off the house onto the deck, or maybe the deck was just sheltered from the strengthening morning sun. I may average it to 1". It's all disappearing now, though, as the snow band moved out and the midday sun has occasionally peeked out. Scattered light snow just won't work this time of year if the timing is poor.

jaster220 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Pardon my puny post.. Woke up to 0.25" of ice on elevated surf's took me about 6 pots full of hot water to de-ice my car enough to get going. Ofc all the trees were coated as well. Fortunately, only limbs to 2" came down around my place. Other places in town I saw limbs to 8+ dia across streets. Minor flooding in the b-ment means I may have dodge both bullets by splitting the rounds into the two different p-types Also had to go out and west of Kzoo ran into a heavy downpour of sleet and it totally iced over the roads for about an hour before warming temps thawed it. Nonetheless there were plenty of accidents and GRR had to extend the WWA by 3 hrs. Detroit proper actually got hit with a bunch of ice and damage/outages. Anyways, congrats to all who got the meat of this beast. Sure would like to see one of these a solid month earlier so us at lower lat's could get the pummeling of historic proportions.

jaster220 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Interesting comparison by Roger Smith to the infamous April '75 powerhouse storm 43 yrs ago. That storm did continue to strengthen as it moved east of SEMI as I suspected. "Crazy system for mid-April ... looks to be pivoting over 36h so could expect some very heavy freezing rain in a narrow band probably about YXU to FNT to GRR to northern Chicago metro, frequent thunder and lightning will develop during the day, heavy ice pellets in a band from YYZ to WGD to MBS to MKG, so less icing but equal amounts of liquid equivalent, heavy snow band north of that.Despite 552 dm thickness pushing into s.e. MI and upstate NY, cold air can't be flushed out due to falling heights and the system pivot. Temps will struggle to pass -1 C (30 F) and may eventually do so but the dynamics are so strong aloft, looks like there could be intense thunder and lightning across sw ON and se MI most of the day and into the overnight period for central southern ON and upstate NY. Where this turned into a blizzard, it brought back memories for me of the April 2-4 1975 storm and the 20-25 inch snowfall we had in central Ontario ... that was blown into large drifts which then froze solid for several days in the freeze-thaw cycle of strong April sun and record cold temps. Might be a bit like that in MN and northern WI by Monday, move those drifts now before they freeze solid."
