Western Kansas Spring Snowstorm April 13 [14]

Filed under: General Weather & Forecasting — Mike U @ 4:23 am

10.0" Storm Total Snowfall in Dodge City!  Well the snow has come to an end, but not before dumping an incredible amount of snow by mid-April standards.  After a several hour break late this afternoon and early this evening… the snow picked up again with an additional 3.5" measured here at work (NWS-DDC).  This was in addition to the 6.5" measured snowfall earlier in the day… for a total of 10".  The snow depth is not 10 inches, though, as there is melting occurring with temps just above freezing.  The snow depth is about 7"  as of this time.

  1. Quite an active Spring so far Mike! From tornado outbreaks to major winter storms this pattern is making up for a mild early winter. This same energy will produce an enormous east coast storm this weekend. Gotta love it!
