More Snow Friday Night

This oddly inverted winter continues as we prepare for our third (minor) April snow event heading into the weekend.

From Wednesday night's disturbance, we measured a fairly robust 2.75 inches at the GSD Home Office. The snow flakes must have been fairly large--the staff was sound asleep when it came down--and there was no wind so that allowed the snow to pile up easily on grassy surfaces.



And it looks like tomorrow night we'll experience an almost identical scenario. Some of the models have us in the 4-6" range for tomorrow night into Saturday, but more realistically we'll see 2-4 inches of fluffy, sticky snow, with higher totals on the east-facing slopes.

All the way from Peoria...

The snow will take longer to melt on Saturday, as clouds will persist throughout the day, but it will all be gone by noon on Sunday.

There is great snowperson-building potential on Saturday, as well as a chance for some sledding. We encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity as we really think--and we mean it this time--that this is the final measurable snow of the season.
