  1. At least you got ease of mind when it comes to the heavy snow on the roof. If I remember, someone showed you the weight distribution was good to go, and no worries last year. Any issue with ice damming along the eaves?
  2. Another 6" possible here on Monday. Seems we have a pride of lions roaming around to start off March
  3. Just light snow now as the system winds down here. Wind blew the snow around quite a bit, but 6" (closer to 7' depending how long light snows last) looks to be a fair assessment. 12" between here and Duluth was reported. That was fun to watch. NWS Duluth had advisory out for me, but I emailed them a couple obs reports, and they upped to warning. It was pretty bad there for a while.
  4. Would be interesting to see data from the decades prior to the 70's. Being a colder/snowier decade as the start point doesn't reflect the fullness of the record. At least go back to 30's-40's when airport measurements started to keep things a little more homogeneous.
  5. My forecast good for the 2nd. Day off again. Big mess for the 3rd for the southern sub with energy making it's way along the boundary. Of course when I don't mention the potential for it, it comes in a big way. LOL March roaring in with snows in the north, and rain/ice/snow in the south in the first few days of the month.
  6. Snowing heavy now, and winds up to 20-25 mph bringing vis down pretty good. Hwy 61 between here, and Duluth must be pretty bad right now.
  7. Snowing pretty good. Almost 2" already.
  8. Snow totals were nudged up for my area. Was only expecting a couple inches at most north of Duluth, and now 3-6". Even Duluth expecting a little more than previously forecast.
  9. Looks like 3-6" in the area from yesterday's snow. 4" here. Duluth missed out on this one. Everything was just east of them, so N WI, and the Arrowhead of MN got in on the action, especially the shore. Looks like another 1-2" possible for me tomorrow, but most staying between Duluth, and the Twin Cities.
  10. Glaze of ice this morning in the area before the snow really kicked in caused lots of accidents/spinoffs, especially around Duluth, and southward.. Looks like a couple 2-3" right now, but radar showing band moving eastward, so should be ending real soon.
  11. Ice and snow potential. Looks like I will only see a tiny amount of ice before the snow kicks in. South of me could be a little more nasty.
  12. Earth Day looking cool with a front passing through bringing some wet weather.
  13. Looks like Easter weekend going to be a little wet.
  14. My daughter-in-law took these pics this evening in Beaver Bay. Awesome display of the northern lights!
  15. I have young lion moving through on the 1st. 3-6" I'd say. I'll take it. And as I mentioned in the Holiday thread, March will be interesting.
  16. Another 1" of snow yesterday, and now another couple coming Monday, with a little ice possible.
  17. Reminds me of March 2010 up my way. We had 1-2" of ice away from the lakeshore, and up the shore that decimated the trees. It was a huge mess. Here in town it was only 1/2", and power stayed on. Just had a new roof put on, and the birch next door was dragging it branches all over my new roof. Luckily no damage, but I was worried.
  18. That clipper on Monday brought 12" of snow up the shore in Silver Bay, so they got in a good hit with the lakes help. 5" for me on that one plus this one will leave me with 7-8" for the week. Not bad.
  19. Couple inches here in town so far. Areas around Superior/Ashland/Bayfield WI reporting 6-12" with isolated reports of 15-26" in the hill country early this morning. LES kicked in hard for them. Still snowing, so looking to see increased totals at the end.
  20. Up my way, looks marginal for heavier snows, but winds will be up. Just had 5" from that clipper yesterday, so blowing snow will be a factor.
  21. Twin cites looking to rank high on this list of snowstorms with this one. Although it will come in 2 rounds, so if they separate the two, then the second one will probably be the one listed if it makes it. Jan 1982 was a humdinger with 2 big rounds back to back (37.4" in 4 days). The "Domebuster" was notable, if you all remember that one when the Hubert H. Humphrey dome collapsed. Love the "Big Mess" title from last month LOL. You could say that for them with almost every snowstorm. Top Twenty Snowfalls for Twin Cities 1. 28.4 inches: 1991 October 31 - November 3 (Halloween Blizzard) 2. 21.1 inches: 1985 November 29 - December 1 (Thanksgiving Weekend) 3. 20.0 inches: 1982 January 22 - 23 4. 17.4 inches: 1982 January 20 - 21 5. 17.1 inches: 2010 December 10 - 11 (Final "Domebuster") 6. 16.8 inches: 1940 November 11 - 13 (Armistice Day) 7. 16.7 inches: 1985 March 3 - 4 7. 16.7 inches: 1940 March 11 - 14 (tie) 9. 16.5 inches: 1982 December 27 - 28 10. 16.0 inches: 1917 January 20 - 21 10. 16.0 inches: 1999 March 8 - 9 (tie) 12. 15.8 inches: 2018 April 13-16 (Thunder Blizzard) 13. 15.3 inches: 1886 November 16-18 14. 15.1 inches: 2023 January 2-5 (Big Mess) 15. 14.7 inches: 1985 March 31 16. 14.3 inches: 1991 November 29 - 30 (Black Friday) 17. 14.1 inches: 1952 March 22 -23 17. 14.1 inches: 1983 November 27 - December 1 (tie) 19. 14.0 inches: 1899 March 10-12 20. 13.8 inches: 2011 February 20-21 21. 13.6 inches: 1966 March 22-23 21. 13.6 inches: 1983 April 14 (tie) 23. 13.1 inches: 1983 December 13-15 24. 13.0 inches: 1907 April 27-28
  22. 2" so far my way. Looks nice seeing pure white again.
  23. Tomorrow round 1, with more mid week. Looks like I'll see around a foot or more on top of the foot of glacier imby by the end of the week.
