I almost posted the accumulation map but figured it was a little too early lol

There are implied mod/hvy rates in that depiction, so it would likely accumulate in that scenario.  That's the key though, "in that scenario."

How's this for low-hanging fruit.  For 4/20, the daily record snowfall is 0.2" for Chicago and is a trace for Indianapolis.  Also, the last time that Indianapolis had measurable snow on 4/20 or later was back in 1989.

Measurable snow on or after April 20th this century at Detroit:

May 10, 2020: 0.5"

Apr 20, 2013: 0.1"

May 3, 2005: 0.1"

Apr 24, 2005: 3.1"

Apr 23, 2005: 1.3"

Both the NAMs changed drastically and now have the warm front getting hung up at the WI/IL border tomorrow with highs only around 60 tomorrow, meanwhile the HRRR blasts the warm front N and gets us into the low and mid 70s.  Past climo tells me the NAM will be correct about this but with the dry air and efficient mixing, I wouldn't be surprised to see the warm front mix fairly far northward

The NAM seems too far south in this situation.  I'd be leaning heavily on its position if there were a convective complex to contend with, but we really don't have that.  I'd think the other models will be correct, or at least more correct than the NAM.

Snowed again last night. Turned my newly greened up lawn into a sea of white for a while. Since then steady light rain today with about a 1/2" so far. Temps running in the mid-upper 30's this aftrn. Temps slated to warm back to more avg levels later this week. Will feel real good to have 55-60 deg weather back. :)
