Snow moved into the area late Sunday evening April 8 and continued through the early morning hours of Monday April 9.  Isolated snow showers developed during the afternoon of the 9th. Accumulations across northeast Illinois and northwest Indiana ranged from 0.5" to 2.5".  The snow was a higher ratio of snow-to-water, especially for April, led to the fluffy accumulations.  These accumulations were almost entirely on grass, trees, and elevated surfaces, while most pavement was too warm for accumulation, though some slick spots this morning were reported (likely from melting snow refreezing).
