April 1 2020

April 1(Wed)

High elevation snow. Stickage remained mainly above 3100′. Snow/rain mix below 3100′ did occur. Some instability rain and graupel showers as well as pockets of high elevation snow showers did occur yet in spots during the afternoon. Also a few intervals of sun in the afternoon and that helps fuel the popup instability with the cold air aloft.

A little snow/rain mix predawn. No stickage. A afternoon graupel shower did briefly allow for a trace of graupel on the ground ground. Rapidly melted.

Snowfall season to date 67.5″

Snow tapered off to very light well before daybreak, then several rain and snow showers during the afternoon, including one very short, heavy snow squall. Snow cover disappered by evening.

Total wnter snowfall of 93.5 inches as of today is more than 60 inches less than normal for this date and is the first time since the winter of 2001-02 that less than 100 inches has been measured as of April 1. See Table 4 below.
