This system has been mostly rain for me, which I am fine with seeing as it's April. Spirit Lake, IA (45 minutes south of me) has received 0.43" of rain, and I have no reason to believe that my number isn't similar. MUCH needed rainfall for here which looks to continue for the next couple of days.

Second light dusting this week.

Shows the severe contrast between SMI and NMI wx zones during this March. My 11.6" was 29% above avg for the month. I'm actually home this morning enjoying an extra-long Easter holiday weekend and I'm glad to report that only the tiniest icicles can be noticed (gotta really squint to see 'em) on the deck railing. Otherwise just another overcast/grey/damp/wet/dreary NMI day here in Harrison. Temp at 32F so putting this headline in the "mostly a fail" category thankfully. With that issuance I've reached 20 snow and ice headlines this winter! (sixth calendar month now). Pretty sure I'd get the trophy if we were competing based on that, lol. This is my 7th for ice alone! Never seen such anywhere I've lived. Closest I remember (tho I wasn't doing a daily scorecard back then) was multiple icings in Marshall as we were just south of the snow swath on multiple good storms in a row during the winter of 06-07.

Its the coolest morning out here in WEEKS as we have dipped into the mid 50's (55F) in spots across town. I love sleeping with the windows cracked open and letting the fresh cool air inside. I'm going to enjoy the next couple days of mid/upper80's. Oh ya, PHX recorded a TRACE of precip yesterday while my area got a a few tenths of an inch. Up north, places in the higher terrain got up to 1" of rain and Snowbowl scored about 5" of new snow.

100% my thought too - unless he means the up-n-down temp swings??
