Snow Totals from the Spring Storm
Tuesday, April 17th, 2018 -- 11:48 AM
(WDLB) -As that spring snowstorm moved away from the area Monday, snowfall totals started coming in.It appears Amherst was ground zero for the storm, as 33-inches of snow fell in that region. Tigerton had 30-inches. Iola got 29-inches. Marshfield, Wausau, Mosinee, Plover, and Stevens Point had 19-inches officially. Rhinelander reported 18-inches. Neillsville had 17. Several parts of the state have set record snowfall totals for April. Green Bay totaled more than 35 inches for the month. Minneapolis and Sioux Falls also set snowfall records for the month. And winter still isn’t done with us. There is a chance of additional snowfall tomorrow, with a few inches of accumulation possible south of Wausau. Temperatures will climb well above freezing Thursday and into the upcoming weekend.
As far as Wednesday goes, a small but potent low pressure system will track south of Wisconsin during the afternoon. This will bring a swath of wintry mix and snow to the region during the afternoon and evening. The heaviest is currently projected south of Marathon County, where three-to-six inches of snow are possible. Northern areas might only see an inch or less. So travel conditions could become poor Wednesday afternoon where that sleet and snow is heavier. However, the silver lining is that we’ll see a gradual warming trend by the end of the week and into early next week.
