I’m a bit surprised at the record for days with 1” snowcover. I would have thought Detroit had a few winter with over 100 days.
Posting stats for Minneapolis as a comparison and humble brag for last winter.
The first mention of wet snow mixing in across central Minnesota tomorrow has appeared in the MPX afternoon forecast discussion.
Widespread frost outside the metro and widespread freeze up north this weekend into early next week. Stuck in the low 50s here for awhile.
Good soaking rain and falling temperatures will be the theme tonight. Lots of leaving dropping with the gusty winds today. The bottom really drops out Thursday evening which will make this the AC to Furnace in less then a week time of year.
Edit: not sure why we are posting this in the September thread
Looks like Minneapolis did indeed reach 92 yesterday. Could double our all time number or October 90 degree days if we hit it again today.
It reached 91 in Minneapolis today. This is the warmest October temperature on record. It had previously gotten to 90 twice in October in 1997 and 1928.
Going big with the line of storms that just blasted through.

It’s the old analogy of the frog in the pot of water slowly boiling that does nothing but toss the frog into the boiling water and it jumps right out. We are way past the point of no return.
Definitely on board with a warm spell into the foreseeable future. Way less bite to the heat this time of year. When a cold front shakes things up for a few days or the pattern changes in mid/late October going BN means flakes.
There was a moose down in Cedar Rapids Iowa around 2012, and the infamous Chicago Mountain Lion that police shot and killed on the NW side of the city back in like 2006.
A rainy weekend has become a rainy Monday with some thunder to boot. Seems like it’s been forever since we’ve had a washout day like this. I think we’ve about doubling our precipitation since June 1st the past several days.
