Still, given how much the map was lit up with warnings, and all the places that were seemingly slammed per radar, I would have expected to see at least a bit more than 5 reports on the SPC page. But I'm sure more (delayed) reports will gradually trickle in throughout the morning.

69 MPH wind gust reported at DTW... Somewhat surprisingly (even for it being nighttime), the MI storm reports are quite sparse for now...

Spoke too soon for the north side...

Definitely about as thread the needle as you can get. Fortunately, the bulk of the activity was just south of the densely populated suburbs in KC... DFW has conditional setups like this all the time during severe weather season, but thus far, its cap of steel remains undefeated.

That Detroit area guy will be disappointed. This setup is giving nighttime QLCS for his area... Tornado thread definitely looks legit back towards WI / IL / IA though...

April can be unpredictable, but with the persistent +NAO / +AO / -PNA, increasing sun angle and the SW getting such an early start to summer due to abnormally dry conditions (positive feedback loop), I wouldn't hold my breath for any wintry surprises this year...

What's impressive about this season is how abruptly "winter" cut off for y'all, kind of simlar to 2009 and 2010 in fact... Not Morch 2012 extreme, but both a top 20 warmest and a top 20 snowless March on record... Looking into the long range, except for maybe some more snow squalls producing some more light dustings or a few more hard freezes/frosts, it's pretty safe to say you all are done until at least November...

As nice of a surprise as it was fot folks in NW Illinois and Southern WI, this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime blizzard for many areas on Northern MI / WI... Some areas along the noth shore of Lake Michigan are well over 2 feet and might even push 3 feet, virtually all synoptic too...

MKE recorded a 60 MPH gust, and looks like it's already transitioned to snow ahead of schedule.

Has there been a Spring where that doesn't happen? Even 2012 has a hard freeze in April...

In other words, typical Spring weather for the region...

NYC really sucks at snowfall measurements. There hasn't been an update since yesterday afternoon from any of the sites (including Central Park). But oddly enough, there was additional measurable precipitation at Central Park specifically after the previous 1pm snowfall total, so there was almost certainly more snowfall that accumulated beyond the official 19.7" as well...

Providence has broken its all-time record already (the other 1978), and it's still pound town there.

There's also 1967 and 1978 (albeit, those set up a bit further SE).
