There were many weeks this winter where my yard was white but the airport was reporting “T” for snow depth. Not enough snow to do anything with, but it still looked and felt like winter. My airline pilot father used to say that Mother Nature will always have a reversion to the mean.

I’ll throw a C- grade at this winter. Lacked snowfall, but with sustained seasonal cold the ground was white and the lakes were frozen all winter. Had a couple decent storms. 5.5” on 12/19 and 9.5” on 3/5. I think we are still paying for the epic 22/23 winter.

I want to believe.

Grass is my yard is starting to wake up. Hit 70 yesterday. Top tier weather.

Happy for you guys. If it’s not a decent winter might as well go biblically bad. Hopefully no May 1-3 2013 redux. Des Moines picked up 6.9” and Osage Iowa 13” shattering all time May snowfall records. https://www.weather.gov/dmx/maysnow

Light rain with occasional ice pellets by me. Might see a quick transistion to snow as the last of it wraps through.

2.1” total paste job. 29.4” seasonal snow total

Can confirm roads are snow covered here. This band means business. We are going to end up with ~2” Edit: Monster flakes. Biggest of the season easily.

Started accumulating as the sun went down. Should have a couple hours of decent rates until we changeover.

White rain this afternoon. Hrrr has been steadfast on a heavier band moving through around 8-10pm and putting down 1-2” across the metro.

Mother Nature gives Twin Cities snow lovers an April Fool’s joke? Maybe a surprise is in store like Sunday.

1.7” of snowfall at the airport yesterday. Surprisingly very little melting as the snow depth was just reported as 2”

Won’t last long but a scenic early evening here.

Nice little weenie band about to rotate through.

Out like a lion.
