Today, April 12th in Weather History:
1927: An EF5 tornado touched down around Rock Springs Texas and killed 72 people.
1979: A monster winter storm ripped across the plains creating heavy snow and freezing drizzle. Aberdeen got over 15 inches of snow!
@FightHaven So heartbreaking, I’m filled with rage while watching this. Someone should have stepped in. Ans those kids should have been arrested. Heartbreaking, truly.
Here’s one view in NYC. Some sleet pellets/mixed precipitation may be mixing in at times but it definitely is windy out there at times.Still going for a main 2-4 around the city before any melt. How’s it looking for you guys out there? Send pics and measurements!! @NWSNewYorkNY
@WxmanFranz I can confirm a tiny bit of sleet being reported in Brooklyn. It’s mixing with mainly snow. I see a small pellet of sleet coming down every 5-10 seconds mixing with the snow.
