dailylurker Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 The sky looks like a June day with a cold ULL crossing the area. There's definitely going to be some interesting storm cells today. There's been a good amount of sun here all morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katabatic Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 We have had several rounds of moderate snow come through. I was surprised at the latest one - temp dropped from 34 to 31 and it quickly accumulated on elevated surfaces. Once it stops, the sky brightens and quickly fades away.

wxdude64 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Third or fourth round of rain/sleet/graupel/snow here. Almost whitens ground then stops and sun pops out a short bit to go back to previous. Temp hits 44-47 when sun is out, drops into mid 30's when precip falls. Currently 38.1/32.4 with all the above precip falling and a WNW wind at 8 gusting to 23. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Fine almost winter weather just two months too late Back 20+ years ago we used to get this in March. Mostly sunny but cold aloft with strengthening March Sun and a little bit of any kicker and we would go from sunny to moderate rain or mixed snow and sleet for 15 minutes and repeat the cycle 4 or so times My record fir all snow with a high temperature at that moment of 47 at onset occurred March 1969 All snow at 47, fell to 35 and snowing. Stopped and sun came out and rose to 43 and then started up again and dropped to 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katabatic Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 So...question about measurements. Around lunchtime, I was on an endless Teams meeting and we had about 45 minutes of fairly heavy snow. It looked like it was nearly an inch but by the time the meeting was over, the sun returned and most of it melted. How would I account (or not) for that?

That’s nearly an inch of snow accumulation then. Doesn’t matter how long it lasts with regards to accumulation. As far as snowfall, it was probably more since some melted upon impact with the ground. You would need a frozen board to measure snowfall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csnavywx Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Freezing levels are so low, it doesn't take much convective depth in this case to get lightning and small hail, given where the cloud bases are. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
