Picked up another inch today in some impressive snow squalls that rolled through. Our two day storm total of 6.6” makes this the 3rd April in a row with a 6” storm including the record breaking 15.8” blizzard of April 13-16 2018.

Storm total of 5.4” here.

2” in the last 75 minutes.

Wow massive Cotton balls right now, probably 2"/hr under this band.

Rippage now and stacking. 2" accumulated on the deck but we had many hours earlier of light snow with not much accumulation. Hard to stack it deep during the day in mid April

Been MIA for awhile, lots of non COVID related stuff happening in life for me lately. Have had steady light snow this morning, nothing heavy besides a few bouts of bigger fluffy flakes but we've accumulated a 1/2" on the deck and grassy surfaces. Helping refresh my nearly melted driveway piles. The metro reached 60 yesterday and we've had some warmer days this spring then the past few years so soil temperatures are running in the mid 40s. I think my backyard will be 20-ish miles northwest of the heavier bands, already been missed to the south by better returns this morning. The Minnesota River seems to be the dividing line. The GFS really whiffed one this one with its southern solution. At least the 3k NAM picked up on the trends as soon as it got into range. Hoping for 4-6" IMBY. Could be our 3rd year in a row with a 6" storm in April. I think someone between Red Wing and Rochester will pick up 12" Can't wait to see those 3' totals up by you Bo.

With model trends this season I have to say congrats St. Louis.

39" IMBY Feb 2019.

Hoosier to build on your point. November 25th the total seasonal snow in Minneapolis was 1.6". In the two weeks since then we are at 18.4"

Looks pretty chilly up here the middle of next week. Transient cold however.

Bring it. We are already -5.3” below average for snowfall. Tuesday/Wednesday event trending better up here.

Another miss to the SE so yeah I’d say that’s very viable.
