    The big cooldown everyone has been talking about will bring our temperatures down to only 5-10 degrees above average. Give this winter it’s futility crown. Got down to 24 last night, our average high.

    The fire dept was at my local lake with an ice rescue boat on my drive home today. Not sure if they were training or someone fell through the ice. People had ice houses setup yesterday but none today. My brother in law was ice fishing in the suburbs last weekend and that lake still had 10” ice on it, but surely conditions have degraded by now.

    All I care about this spring/summer is getting somewhat normal precipitation, tornado chances are just a bonus. 3 years of flash drought is enough, and this winter is making wildfire season look quite brutal in northern Minnesota unless the pattern turns wet.

    The record number of 50 degree days in DJF for Minneapolis is 8. We are currently at 7 with the potential to add a few and set the record next week.

    Gotcha, makes sense to further his narrative. Someone want to post a low temperature anomalies map.

    Where is JB getting those maps? MSP was over 5 degrees above average in January, and that is showing near normal temps.
  7. OrdIowPitMsp
    Minneapolis finished with 0.13” of precipitation for the month of January with 2.0” falling as snow.

    Diurnal swings are impressive this time of year. After a high of 55 yesterday we got down to 28 with heavy freezing fog overnight. Roads are slippery.

    New record high of 55 in Minneapolis smashing the old record of 46. We missed tying the all time January record by 1 degree. I was working outside in a t-shirt today.

    Woohoo 1st place!! February 1878 is the 6th warmest on record for Minneapolis, so that’s the number to beat.

    I am starting to really believe 1877-78 is going down this year, or at least we get close. It’s a similar setup with AGW and UHI boosting things a bit. The lack of any snowpack up north after this warmup will only hamper the ability to see normal wintertime temps moving forward. The main difference is the lakes have actually held some ice this season, versus 77-78 when there are many reports of lakes never icing over completely.

    Closing out January with record high temps across Minnesota today. The all time January record of 56 in Minneapolis might be in jeopardy today.

    Wake up > check 384hr GFS > less then 0.10” precip for Minneapolis wash rinse repeat

    We’ve got a long way to go. It can snow here into May, and April 2018 saw over 25” of snow, but the trends this winter are undeniable. I’m more concerned if we don’t see any precip versus it falling as snow. Don’t want a 4th straight summer of drought and smoke.

    Warmest winter on record is gonna be locked up by mid month for mby. Might as well make it the least snowy as well and hit the futility daily double.
  16. OrdIowPitMsp
    Temps have way overachieved today in Minneapolis. It’s currently 48 breaking the old record of 47 from 1892.
  17. OrdIowPitMsp
    High of 33 today with freezing fog. Coolest day in the next 10.
  18. OrdIowPitMsp
    The spread in monthly precipitation across the subforum is impressive. Minneapolis is sitting at 0.13” month to date with nothing on the horizon.
  19. OrdIowPitMsp
    Wildfire season will be rocking with full run GFS precip maps like this for MN and points NW.

    The great upper midwest snow hole of winter 23/24 is very evident on the total seasonal snowfall map. Most of northern Minnesota is around the 5th to 10th percentile for current average snow depth.
  21. OrdIowPitMsp
    Yes you are correct. Off by a mere decade. February 1878 is the 6th warmest all time for Minneapolis. We need to aim for a top 5 warmest February to have a shot at the record.
  22. OrdIowPitMsp
    Chasing the ghost of winter 1887/1888 for warmest on record. Would be pretty cool if April and May end up our snowiest months this winter. Right now the 2.7” in October takes the top spot.
  23. OrdIowPitMsp
    Starting to feel more confident that a top 5 warmest and least snowy winter might be in the cards here.
  24. OrdIowPitMsp
    Thank you Iowa for the dense snowpack, letting us get in on the freezing fog too. Almost busted my ass walking in the parking lot this morning.
  25. OrdIowPitMsp
    Ugh wtf. Throw the book at them.
