Then I say let it snow.  We are on a post-mid-April streak for the past 3 years. Might as well make it 4 if a cold shot is coming.

Non-event at KDPA.

so far so good here. Hope it holds.

^ and oddly, Milwaukee and Madison are having their snowiest March's since the mid 1960's. I guess that increased warmth is translating to greater moisture and therefore greater snowfall totals... Shame it didn't work that way for MBY in January. I guess the biggest recipient of this effect was in Minneapolis and Duluth this year. Oh well, here's hoping it spreads.

Extended looks good, this is our year

i saw that beer town is currently having it's snowiest march since 1965. Maybe too late for some if you know what i mean.

So final totals ended up being 12.1" at Madison and 10" even at Green Bay. GRB just barely missed out on the max snowband, as there were several 12-15" reports all across the metro. I estimate we recieved about 15" here total at my campus. Today it is sunny and in the low 40's out. The snowpack is melting incredibly quickly. Or rather evaporating because there really isn't that much melt water out. Kind of what happens when you have the sun angle equivalent of September 16th. 

not buying the madtown total. Arrived in town yesterday around noon. Roads clear looked like maybe 8" stacked up in some places.

call me concerned.

btw would want no part of a 6" 6:1 ratio snowfall. The damage to trees will be enormous. 

in january you troll the person who's going to get missed. In late march you troll the person who's going to get hit. It's simple.

Depth change map on the 18z NAM would be my biggest snow of the year... In basically April as is the tradition. 

i think we all called this back in mid February.....sadly.

send it to central wisconsin btw

who knew a snowstorm thread started by Hardy Palm Guy would end up discussing areas where palm trees thrive and not the storm? Talk about irony.

oh no

where's cromartie?

Hoping this weekend is our last real "cold" push of the season. 

you still have the annual cold snaps for Opening day, The easter snow flurry event, and 45 degree with 35 mph wind mothers day still to get through. It's a long trek home.

Zzzzzz

it's okay. You need to slow down when you're turning a corner.

prior to the last 5 years the largest late season snowfall was April 14, 1961 in Chicago. That has been surpassed twice in the last several years. Over my lifetime, I don't really recall any memorable late season events, though one did hit in early April perhaps 1972. It sure seems to me winters have carried much later into spring and late season snowfalls with the past several years. Of course, it's a blip in time. I'm old school, so no pie charts and graphs, just a memory. And when it comes to snow- a very good memory.

As usual....Cromartie is hiding in his palms. His March torch forecast is frost bitten.

since January 29th he's had nearly 30" of snow

As models predicted, much of the central Iowa snow dried up as it moved into eastern Iowa.  I finished with 1.1 inches.

good. Here, things are getting out of hand. Sidewalks are on the verge of getting a slushy coating. Wild.

Looks like the Des Moines office really blew it with this system.  Widespread 4-6" of snow through much of central IA with no headlines.  Ouch.

march snows

maybe the 8th time is the charm....event of the year coming.

brutal. Although, can't say avoiding a slop fest that damages tree limbs is that disheartening. Alek's string of correct calls headed down in flames.
