Snowfall Totals for April 3-4 storm
Courtesy: National Weather Service
A storm system brings some late season snowfall to Minnesota.
April is continuing the winter of 2013-14 with below normal temperatures and now with heavy snowfall as well. On April 3, a low pressure area developed in eastern Kansas and moved to the northeast. A large shield of precipitation developed across Minnesota and brought snow, sleet and rain to the state. As evening approached, the snow intensified across the Twin Cities. The snow gradually tapered off during the mid-morning of April 4. By the time the storm ended, 6.5 inches of snow was reported at the Twin Cities International Airport.
Just a year before, 7.2 inches was reported at the Twin Cities International Airport in a snowstorm on April 18-19, 2013.
Amounts were higher in the northern and western Twin Cities. Forest Lake had a total of 11 inches and 12.2 inches was measured at Brownton in McLeod County. The highest total found so far is 15.0 inches at Holyoke in Carlton County.
This was a wet, heavy snow. The Twin Cities International Airport saw .79 inches of liquid with this storm. Normal precipitation for the month of April is 2.66 inches. .
