lol @ how the clipper over northern MN dissolves into nothingness as it reaches this far south later this evening. Gotta love it. A little early for grades, but this winter is def looking like an F- at this point.
-
0.3" here early this am.
-
At least unlike last time (GHD3) the pattern doesn't look hopeless for the 10-15 days following it. That made missing that event even worse than it was lol.
-
Down to 9 here this morning. Just some scattered patches of dirty/crusty snow where the drifts were once deepest. Other than that dormant/brown grass with scattered dead leaves swirling about.
-
Yeah it's been a rough stretch. On the bright side we're building some good weather karma I guess lol.
-
A miss southeast would truly be a kick in the crotch to the majority of the DVN area. I'd rather the heavy snow miss northwest so then at least we could get a decent rain/moisture event out of it. The way this pos winter is going I'm sure it'll whiff southeast, or get grazed with a non-event duster.
-
Nice. It's odd to say, but it's kind of nice to hear rain on the roof again, although it only rained hard enough to hear a few brief times.
-
0.05" of rain so far. Looks we'll take our 12.5" seasonal snowfall total into the 2nd half of Feb.
-
Mix of rain and snow here atm. Up to 35 after being around 30 a few hours ago. EDIT: and now all rain
-
Looks thread-the-needle-ish.

Winter 2021-22 Short/Medium Range Discussion
cyclone77 replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
GFS shows over 2" of QPF with the big system later next week for a good chunk of the sub. At MLI they've only had 2.07" total precip since Dec 1st so that would be quite impressive if we can get 2.5 months of precip from this next storm. -
Both MLI and DVN made it to 53 today. Substantially cooler here at only 45.
-
Have a shot at the first 50 degree day since Christmas day today. Area car wash facilities are gonna be banking today.
-
The hat trick.
-
Feel exactly the same. I'm kind of in 6"+ storm or just keep it mode at this point. It's been so dry (and extremely boring) that even a heavy rainer would be exciting at this point lol.
-
Not trying to troll or anything but I really wouldn't mind a soaking rainer. I've never seen so much residual salt on area roads, it's like there was a surplus of salt and it had to be used this season no matter what lol. The parking lot at work looks like the great salt lake desert.
-
Temps pushing 40 today, and you can tell there's a bit of spring fever starting up. Seen people out walking, car washes extremely busy, etc. The sun combined with the temps actually does make it feel warmer than it is after the recent cold.
-
We had 3.8" fall on Dec 28th, and 5.0" on Jan 1st. Outside of that 5-day stretch around New Years we've had 3.7" the since Fall.
-
Yeah the clipper pattern mostly covers northeast half of sub, southwest half: crickets.
-
Had a few flurries yesterday. -2 this morning, 11th below zero day of the season. Tomorrow we poke above freezing. Time to get rid of this mangy crust.
-
Despite little in the way of snow the past few weeks we've done a pretty nice job of maintaining what we have received, as we've had at least an inch of snow on the ground since around New Years. Have about 2ish inches of mangy crust out there, with a little fresher powder on top.

Just read up a good chunk of the Nov 25-26 2018 storm thread. Reading/reminiscing that event was a nice dose of medicine to take some of the sting away from being skirted by GHD3. Nice to have those old event threads to look back on and read up on.
-
Event map from DVN. Pretty sharp cutoff pretty much as modeled.
-
Finished with 0.5" here. MLI 0.8", DVN had 0.1".
