Winter in April

April 27, 2019 Snowstorm

It was winter in April on the 27th. This photo shows steady light to moderate snow collecting on grassy surfaces. Normally we are done with snow by the middle of April but not this year! A major low pressure center spread snow across northern Iowa. In Cedar Falls the equivalent of 4 inches of snow fell in a few hours, but with never more than an inch on the ground. Thankfully road conditions were only wet here while rural areas to the north reported snow and ice covered roads.
