'24-'25 Winter Storm #18

Posted: 20 Mar 2025 07:16 AM

As with a number of recent Wednesdays, a major winter storm impacted the state. This storm system also featured a number of hail producing storms Wednesday morning with even a couple of instances of having a Severe Thunderstorm Warning coincident with a Blizzard Warning (more on that tomorrow). The featured map presents an analysis of snowfall reports with a few isolated reports of around twelve inches! Thunder-snow was also observed with this event, which weather forecasting lore implies a foot of snow will fall somewhere nearby. Winds were again very extreme with this storm with gusts exceeding 60 MPH for some locations. Mid March sunshine and warmer temperatures will start the melting work today.
