I'm calling it a waste of day because it's going to be cold and dreary instead of nice and mild, not because we aren't getting 5 inches of snow. Anomalies are indeed interesting, but this is messing with my long gestating plans too. So quit harkin on me lol.

Here's my snowfall map. Note that the devil is in the details, as Chris mentioned, northfacing slopes and other shady spots and on grassy surfaces. Likely to melt once precip rates decline. *Going with a solid 2" for my house in West Belleville right on the 1-2" to 2-3" boundary. **Snowfall amounts likely to be much more nebulous and poorly defined than as shown here.
My Write-Up from my Facebook weather group page... Potentially Historic Late April Snowfall is looking increasingly likely for the MO/IL Bi-State area with accumulations approaching or even exceeding 3" especially north of I-70 with D-2" amounts widespread throughout the area.
For Metro St. Louis 2" with spots of 3" northwest of downtown are possible. Highest totals will be on grassy surfaces and north facing hills and slops. Roads are expected to remain mainly just wet but some brief periods of
slush is possible on bridges and overpasses as temperatures fall during the precipitation, starting out in the low to mid 40s, dropping quickly into the low-mid 30s during the heaviest precipitation rates. While NOT a record
breaking snow by any stretch, the 'wow' factor for how late in the Spring it is will cause some surprises for people not expecting snow this late into the season.
After the precipitation ends, a hard killing late Spring freeze is on tap for the entire area with most places dropping into the mid 20s to low 30s northwest to southeast. Looking between 28-31* for lows Wednesday morning
in metro St. Louis, and again Thursday morning with lows between 30-33*. Highs tomorrow and Wednesday will struggle to get out of the 40s. Moderation comes Thursday night into the weekend as temps rise ahead of a
southeast ridge and an approaching low pressure system which looks to bring rain and storms to the area this weekend.
Not sure where you get "historic snow" from.... there is no way we break the record of 5.5 inches set in 1904. Historic cold... yes. Historic snow... no. |

Definitely coming down heavily in the KC area, MoDOT cams really show it. Not sticking to the roads but everything else is totally white.

I saw somewhere this could be the latest accumulating snowfall in 77 years. How is this not historic? Lol

agree on reserving the word historic for record breaking events. thank you chris for your consistency and standards applied in delivering your message. thats what gives you credibility.
my thoughts...tod is going to be a factor. going to be cold tonight. if we go below freezing, does that start the counter over with growing days?
that link i put out there yesterday...concern abt the flip in seasons to warmth in may. i know nature likes to even things out.
