  1. Solid weenie band developed over the west metro. SWS issued, DAB so far but could see close to an inch over the next few hours as it rolls through.
  2. Winnipeg also has had two days this month where the high failed to go above 0F.
  3. That’s why I advocate Minneapolis as a reasonable compromise city for those who love winter weather but need to support a family. Snowcover since November 26, frozen lakes that just hosted a large national pond hockey tournament...and it’s been a mild with average snowfall. You be you Beavis.
  4. Above average snowpack up north especially along the north shore. Sitting at 8” imby and zzzzzz for the foreseeable future.
  5. Great read through the last few pages after work.
  6. It just wants to fall where it won’t melt for a few months.
  7. 1” with wave #2 that came through yesterday afternoon/evening. Storm total a little less then 2” and snowdepth pretty much the same.
  8. Stacking some nice cotton balls right now after flurries all day.
  9. Staying below freezing this morning and spitting snow. We have Portillo’s and Giordano's here so it’s basically Chicago.
  10. Yes sorry NW burbs of Minneapolis. Plymouth to be precise.
  11. 0.6” overnight in south Minneapolis. Wife’s parents in the NW burbs saw nothing.
  12. DAB of accumulation with light snow. This storm has exceeded my wildest expectations
  13. While I am definitely in the camp of wall to wall cold during DJF, heck even thru April, I understand that living south of 50’ means getting occasional thaws. Chinook effect can be stronger here then Chicago.
  14. Don’t worry Beavis we switched over to predominantly snow/frozen cocktail pretty quickly. Not really heavy enough to accumulate but then again we aren’t forecast to get much this far NW.
  15. 37F and getting some liquid drizzle. Exciting stuff.
  16. Above freezing for the first time since January 9. Models painting quite the gradient across metro here. Nada north maybe 3-4” south.
  17. Going to get a whole bunch of mild air and that’s about it outta this. Going to compact the snowpack and mess with my champaign powder skiing.
  18. I guess the only thing I can expect for sure out of this is every different type of precipitation. Rain, Sleet, Snow, Freezing Rain, Ice Pellets..... Only question is how much falls this far north.
  19. Low of 1F, and another 0.5” of fluff last night to grease up the roads. Snow depth at 9” this is peak winter right now.
  20. Total thread hijack. Have you ever thought about building some bat boxes to attract predators?
  21. Isle Royale is incredible. I haven’t been since 2008 but loved it, our group had a Wolf walk through our campsite one morning which is super rare. We thought it was a rangers dog at first. Do you still get a reaction to mosquitos bites? I spent a summer working for the Yukon Geological Survey and ever since those 8 weeks of constant swarms my body seems to have developed an immunity to bites.
  22. Yeah we’ve build up a solid pack over the past week. There has been compaction but we haven’t had bare ground since November 26th. (Sorry Beavis) I live very close to the airport so I typically go off what they report, besides the occasional eyeball estimate. At 6am the total was 4.9” and we've added a little under an inch since, so storm total will probably be 5.5-6.0”
  23. I’d say the front has moved through. Time for some wind
