james1976 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Love this update from DMX: Heavy, wet sticky snow is expected into the afternoon with a few claps of thunder. Snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour are likely with total snow accumulations of 4 to 6 inches and localized higher amounts. Winds gusting up to 35 mph are also expected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowawx Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Temperature has quickly fallen to 35 degrees here in Cedar Rapids. Still no snow yet, but radar is begging to look better around here, and the main band to the north is supposed to move southeast later this afternoon as indicated by the HRRR. I have gotten 0.95" of rain so far today. If Cedar Rapids can get an inch or more of snow today from this storm, this will be the first time since April 30, 1994 that more than an inch of snow has fallen here this late in the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Dubzz Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 I went to a movie (great movie btw), and it was basically sleeting when I came out. I’m assuming that was going on for a bit, which has hurt snow totals. I’m okay with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 I'm finally seeing some snow mixed in with the sleet. Also, there appears to be at least 0.1" of sleet covering the ground, so I finally hit 50". 2 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...

Hawkeye Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Terry Swails was WAY off with his last-minute addition of a 5-10" band along hw20.

The largest total I see so far in Iowa is 4”There were some periods of lighter snow and mixing, so yeah, it didn’t accumulate well. Has to absolutely rip continuously, and that just didn’t happen. I’m okay with it, though, especially since it barely accumulated on the sidewalks. Got to see some wonderful snowfall without actually having to clean it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaster220 Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Still have a headline but waiting to see if this rain switches over in time to get any appreciable accumulation. Not looking too good for that attm. Lack of legit cold air may be an even bigger hindrance than the warm ground.

brianc400 Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 I did not put a snowboard out today (oops—too busy thinking about infinity stones) but after some good bouts of heavy snow tracking across the southern half of the county after 4 p.m. with reduced visibility, I have an easy 3+ on grassy areas. I'd like to wish it was 4, but it's too hard to claim that on lush grass. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 I picked up 0.63” of rain. Never saw a flake, but I think there briefly were a few sleet balls hitting the windows at one point. This fast changing wx pattern is kind of interesting. For some reason I didn’t discover this storm thread till this morning and was wondering why it was so quiet on the April thread, but forgot to check earlier if there is one on this storm.
