-10's to -sd's this morning with sd's inland to around 10 on the lakeshore this aftrn. Wind chills away from the lake running -20 to -30. Pretty much the same wx for the next few days. All the action staying S for now, so enjoy it while the potential lasts.

Chilly day with temps in the -sd's this morning. Sd's for highs, maybe a 10 in there. Only thing HOT coming is the SuperBowl of the NFC North on Sunday night. Vikings n Lions. What a game that will be. Haven't watch pro ball in years, and this year decided to watch some on the NFL YT channel. Just watch the 10-15 min long highlight vids. And the Vikings are hot this year as has been Green Bay, and the Lions. What a strong division this year. After the Vikings 1998 season with Cunningham, got turned off, until 2009 with Favre. Both big fails in the end, and I just stopped watching all together until this year when I saw that NFL had a YT channel, so thought I'd follow the Vikings, and see how things went for them. Quite shocked, actually. We shall see how this one ends.

Considering the colder months tend to have the higher % of cloudy days, it's a crap shoot. Better luck next year.

Pretty good call for the end of the year. LP scooting across the S sub on the 31st with HP entering into the picture bringing in colder wx that will kick off some LES. Looks like Dec will end up being near to above avg. Last week of the month very mild.

Rain coming to an end thankfully. Up to an inch around the area. Now the slow slide into wintery wx again during the next few days. Barely had a white Christmas in town, and now back to brown. With the upcoming pattern, some vigorous clippers would be nice.

Same here. Dreary end of the year.

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you have an awesome day.

I was slow on this cast. System moves through Mon-Tues, and less cold air behind. Christmas turning out to be a very nice day for most with some rain entering the S sub. May your holiday be a blessed one. Merry Christmas ev1!

Very cool mini vortex over the Lake this morning. It has been slowly drifting N as mid level winds are light from the S.

NWS DLH put out a story board on their forecast fail today. I'm sure they got some flack from the communities, especially the schools.

1-3" across my area. Underperformed big time. NWS DLH issued WS warnings around the Lake shore, and schools here closed. They have a little egg on the face today. I picked up an inch from a lake band that formed later in day that did not stay around for too long. Drier air really cut down on the synoptic precip, and LP tracked too far S.

I'll be surprised if we get 4-6" up along the head of the lake. Dry air keeping things at bay. Std radar showing precip aloft, but not making it to the ground as enhanced radar is showing along with my eyes. LP too far W to S. South of the Lake getting in on some good action, tho.

Winter Storm watch for the head of the Lake starting at midnight as the clipper starts to affect my area. Lake will contribute with the colder air over the water setting up some bands mixed with the synoptic snows on an E/NE wind. We are on the N edge, so without the Lake, wouldn't see much. Nice to see the sun today. Been cloudy for a few days.

My son's B-day is Jan 12. He turns 31. You know your getting old when your eldest is 40.

About a 0.1" of snow yesterday, and now temps just hovering around low-mid 30's. Dense fog adv out for TH, but no fog to be seen, even at the airport. DLH has fog, but all good lakeside there.

Not quite as cold across the area this morning. -sd's near the lake to upper -10's to lower -20's in the inland areas. Hibbing -21 (5th), and I-Falls -20 (T 9th). Milder temps on tap with some frz rn/sn possible this weekend. Next week is looking like some lgt/mod snow possibilities.

I-Falls -24 (T 7th), Hibbing -20 (5th), Duluth -18 (T 4th), Ashland, WI -12 (T 5th), Brainerd -13 (7th), St. Cloud -11 (T 7th), MSP -8 (T 8th), and Eau Claire, WI -9 (T 6th). Significant cold snap. Will see how tomorrow am ranks.

-10's (nearer the Lake) to -20's (interior NE MN) this morning. She's a bitter one. Highs in the sd's today with another bitter am on tap tomorrow before things warm up again. Winds are calm-5 right now, but the day wind will kick in keeping wind chills on the lower side today. Cold wx adv will stay in effect through tomorrow am. Like the new change. Wind chill's are one thing, but temps get just as cold as wind chills, so new adv is a good reflection of overall conditions, wind or not.

Early data showing a warm Nov similar to 2020. And Fall ends up as 3rd warmest. 5 & 10 yr trend charts shown respectively.

Sorry for the delay, computer went down last week. Decent call here. Milder temps with some mixed precip.

Finally back after computer issues. After some good snows across NE MN Sun into Mon, now the bitter wx arrives today for a couple days. Wind chills -20 to -40 anticipated. Cold wx adv issued. Replaces the Wind Chill advisories. Extreme Cold warning will replace Wind Chill warnings.

Cold, windy stretch. Temps bottomed out before midnight in the sd's, then started to slowly rise through the night with a small dip at sunrise this morning. Temps in the sd's with windy conditions brought wind chills down to near -20F. Highs around 20F near the Lake today, 15 inland. Yesterdays high of 29 here in town was met at around 8am to a low around 9F 13 hrs later at 9pm. Furnace running quite frequently with the wind.

1-3" around the NE MN/N WI area with the Grand Marais/Hovland area up in Cook county seeing 4-7". High wind warning up that way, too, for winds of 50-60 mph possible. Wind advisory out for a good chunk of the W sub today. Bands of CAA snow showers developing this morning as front has just passed through.

Snow ended here not long ago. Measured 1.0". A little more winter looking now in town. Winds should kick up in the a.m. n blow it around.

Clipper starting to make its presence felt here this morning with flurries. Looks like the biggest snow totals will be to my N to NE with some stout winds tomorrow.
