Overview
|
An early Spring storm brought significant snows to portions of the Tri-State area. While precipitation initially developed as rain, sleet, or freezing rain, a rapid transition to snow took place during the evening hours of Wednesday the 23rd into the 24th. This system also produced thundersnow, a rather rare event during the winter time. For some locations this was the 3rd to 4th occurance of thundersnow during this winter season.
Snowfall amounts from yesterday's winter storm ranged from as little as 1 inch to as many as 17 inches near Sioux City, IA. The 14.1 inch report measured at Sioux City was the 6th snowiest 24 hour period since records began in 1890! |
