Merry Christmas to those who celebrate. It’s an official white Christmas in Minneapolis with a snow depth of 2” at the airport. Historic odds of a white Christmas are 71% in the city but rise to over 80% in the far northern metro.

3”-4” of hard glacier with some dust on top. Here’s the front and backyard view right around sunset.

Morning low of 5F. Warmup begins today. Going to be a photo finish whether our snowpack survives for a white Christmas.

Top tier day.

22/23 was a good time at MSP 3rd snowiest winter on record - 90.3” 9th longest 1” consecutive snow depth streak - 117 days

-3F at 6am, 42 degrees colder then 24hrs ago. 1.1” of snow at MSP yesterday. Snowdepth 4”

Quite the eventful weather day, we lost a good amount of snowpack from the combination of high dews, warm overnight temps and a bit of rain. Was 39F when I left for work at 6am. Temps came crashing down mid/late morning and haven’t stopped falling. Snow showers moved through this afternoon and put down around an inch, although with all the blowing it’s impossible to tell. Winds gusting between 35-40mph with the snow. Clearing now and 7F with blowing snow.

Torched to 43 yesterday. Lost 2” of snowdepth, now 7” at MSP.

We’ve gone above freezing for the first time in 22 days at MSP.

I’ll be working outside in a t-shirt today. High of 40. Let’s do this! 6am Snow Depth at MSP - 9”

-11F in the heat island. -15 to -20 away from the urban areas

-5F. I think it’ll be an indoors Saturday for us.

Front blasted through. Winds howling, snapped this photo at work right before all the snow was blown off the trees.

Morning low of 6. Getting some light snow/freezing mist now, roads got greased quick.

Persistent flurries/light snow from the low stratus kept temps relatively mild overnight. Only made it down to 12F
