Seems like most of the sub has seen as much or more precipitation in April then I have all year. (5.20” since January 1)

* All time April record at MSP was broken in 2018 with 15.8” during the 4/13-16 blizzard. Brilliant blue skis and bright sun also appeared the next morning.

At the airport dog park literally on the north end airport perimeter right off the runway 12L/30R threshold with a nice view of the miss south.

Noticing a bit of budding/green-up underway on many tree species around here. Certainty seems 2-3 weeks early

First 80 of the year. 81 at MSP. Masters on the iPad outside, perfect Sunday.

Hello 60 degree dews. Oh how I haven’t missed you.

Excellent weather in the Bay Area the past several days.

First garden variety storm of the season rolled through.

Benefits of working outside. Osprey got some breakfast.

I work outside…in Minnesota. It’s been an easy spring.

Another near miss with several inches of snow just to my north and 30s and rain for the metro. I’ll happily take the precipitation.

32 and rain

Bust of a WSW for the inner metro. Just a glaze of sleet and ice on elevated surfaces at home. April snowstorm just 50-60 miles north.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen an inch+ of sleet but that might change tonight. Metro is going to be brutally close to the snow/sleet/freezing rain cutoff line.

MSP saw an average temperature of 39.1F in March, which is 5.8F above average. 1.29” of precipitation, which is 0.39” below average. 11.3” of snow fell, which is 3.1” above average.
