  1. First 60 today in Minneapolis. Good chance of our first 70 tomorrow. Backyard cam shows the snowpack took a massive beating today and will likely be gone this time tomorrow.
  2. It wasn’t until 4 days out on this latest storm that the prospects of accumulating snow became a realistic possibility, anything can happen and that’s what makes weather awesome.
  3. Average to date here is 41.3” so still -15.7” on the season but this made a huge dent and the long range holds promise.
  4. Storm total of 9.5” at MSP. Our biggest snowstorm since the legendary winter of 2022/2023
  5. Sun is coming out, lots of dripping with the temp at 28. Must be March.
  6. Last band rotating through now. 13” near Northfield MN is the highest report I’ve seen so far.
  7. The NW trend is alive and well. Wind is whipping can’t imagine how bad the drifts are outside the metro.
  8. About as good as it gets out there this morning. Quite the drive into work.
  9. MSP was at 2.7” at midnight, my original call from a few days ago lol.
  10. It’s wild out there and we are just getting started. Visibility under a mile with gusts up to 35mph. Temps holding at 34 is the only thing keeping the flakes from really stacking.
  11. Here it started changing to sleet around 6 and changed over to mostly snow around 6:30. The ground is already white. Definitely seems quicker then expected.
  12. Light rain and dynamic cooling underway. We’ve gone from 39 to 36 in the past hour.
  13. The air is thick with anticipation and moisture.
  14. Trends are definitely in our favor, however I still think there is a brutal cutoff right over the metro. I might get double your totals at the airport versus north burbs. Always love waking up to the pleasant surprise of a WSW and a blizzard warning one county south.
  15. Wednesday looks to be fun around here. Yet another crazy gradient across the metro but I’ll go with 2.8” at MSP. Good thing my ski hill is just outside Red Wing MN. That area has been consistently shown to be the jackpot zone in Minnesota and could pickup 5-7”
  16. Winter storm watches hoisted to my southeast. Pretty big spread across the metro. 2” on the west end to 6”+ on the east side. Classic spring slop storm.
  17. Anyone live closer to a first order station then me?
  18. Here to comment on the 12z models. Would be the largest snowstorm of the season in the twin cities. Lock it in. I’m sticking with seasonal trends and thinking this thing won’t wind up as much and we’ll see 0.50” of rain transition over to a white rain.
  19. 0.03” of rain overnight. Still searching for any real precipitation around here.
  20. 20:1 snow really goes quickly. Bare ground again. Hoping for some rain to wash the salt away if it’s gonna stay warm.
  21. 2025 total precipitation through 2/22 for select Midwest cities. It’s been dry and boring here for awhile. Couldn’t find a major Midwest city with less precipitation then Minneapolis YTD. St. Louis: 3.99” Columbus: 3.97” Indianapolis: 2.66” Chicago: 2.39” Detroit: 2.13” Moline: 1.90” Duluth: 1.57” Milwaukee: 0.98” Madison: 0.70” Des Moines: 0.59” Minneapolis: 0.51”
  22. Minneapolis has been below zero 11 of the past 12 mornings but we only managed a low of 1 this morning.
