    Top shelf stuff most of the morning and into the early afternoon. Some sleet mixing in but mainly snow imby. Drove over to the east side of St. Paul around 1030am and it was Lafayette during 2011 groundhog blizzard all over again.

    Mood dust with a touch of freezing drizzle ahead of the 4-8” tonight.

    6.8” to get to 40” on the season. Will we get it this round? NWS thinks so.
  4. OrdIowPitMsp
    We can’t seem to get any precipitation during the spring/summer months but have had no problem in winter. Cards just fall that way sometimes I guess.

    Feeling confident of another 4”+ this upcoming week to start the new year. Ganoderma Zonatum weather if you look at the extended.

    I’ve been quietly watching the system coming up early next week. The metro has been riding the line between cold rain (GFS) and warning criteria snows (Euro) MSP pulled the trigger on a WSW today for 3-7”. Personally I think there’s a big divide per usual between northern and southern ends of the metro with 3” south and 6-8”+ north. Been fun to track but wish there was more potential across the subforum to aid the discussion.

    Pretty remarkable difference up here from a majority of the subforum. Reached a high of 37 yesterday, stuck in the 20s today. Snow depth hanging around 8” and we picked up 0.4” of snow overnight.

    MSP has been below zero since 9:08PM on 12/21 and that was just a few hour stretch of 0-1 degrees otherwise it’s 12/20 5:53PM when we dropped below zero. Impressive for this early in the year to have 48+ hours below zero.

    Visibility map tells you everything you need to know.

    Winds finally are starting to get going in the city. Visibility dropping and drifting beginning.
  11. OrdIowPitMsp
    Interstate 90 was closed between Albert Lea MN and Rapid City SD last night. That’s over 500 miles of interstate! Wind and drifting was a nonfactor in the city. Temperature stayed steady around -11/-12 all night.
  12. OrdIowPitMsp
    Dreaded midnight high of -4F at MSP. Daytime high of -6F, currently at -11F
  13. OrdIowPitMsp
    Starting to blow and drift pretty good here. The stuff coming off the trees is falling like new snow. -8F gusting to 33mph
  14. OrdIowPitMsp
    Driving south on US-52 to ski at Welch Village. Not much wind or drifting yet in rural areas.
  15. OrdIowPitMsp
    Going to try and embrace the cold today. We’ve dropped to -11F
  16. OrdIowPitMsp
    Just spitting straight facts.
  17. OrdIowPitMsp
    Final storm total of 8.1” brings MSP up to 31.4” on the season. 0.46” liquid equivalent which was 0.10” more then modeled fwiw.
  18. OrdIowPitMsp
    Dropped down to -9F with WCs in the -30s.
  19. OrdIowPitMsp
    I’m going to attempt to go skiing today before the winds kick in. Gotta get that powder! There should be a nice window of calm today before things start rocking.
  20. OrdIowPitMsp
    My expectations have been exceeded again. Snow ended around 3am. Current temp of -6F. Full throttle winter.
  21. OrdIowPitMsp
    Have had a nice extended period of moderate snow with visibilities at or below a mile. Closing in on 5”
  22. OrdIowPitMsp
    0.24” of precipitation
  23. OrdIowPitMsp
    Sigh…WAA always wins. We’ve risen to 1F with steady light snow.
  24. OrdIowPitMsp
    I think it was @Stebowho joked last winter that the models are digesting too much data these days and even a “bird fart” is changing the outcome.
  25. OrdIowPitMsp
    Stacking quickly in these temperatures.
