Thankfully this spring had the slowest snow melt I've ever seen with the 30-40F highs all month. Rivers have already peaked. 1-3'' in next couple days could raise them again but it may be too late for flooding.
uh, are we restricting this strictly to severe thunderstorms? Minnesota and Wisconsin may receive anywhere from 0-15'' on the back side (could bust). All in 6-8 hours with thundersnow likely.
The thing I dislike the most is the Minnesota split. Most of the time I'm posting in the Lakes/Ohio Valley forum since it's most active, but if it's mostly plains in here. If all of Iowa is there Minnesota should be too. It's even more Great lakes.
Usually this type of thing happens at least once a year in the Dakotas. Nice to see Minnesota getting it for once. Also Nebraska did have a snowstorm with more than 30 inches last month.
Looks like a once in a lifetime system. I'm excited. Fortunate I don't work mid week.
It should be. The Winter Storm watch is continuous. The AFDs have made it seem so as well. Also some runs like the Canadian model don't even have a break in the snow.
Didn't expect this. First time Minnesota, Wisconsin, or Iowa has had a January severe risk. Minnesota has never had a January or February tornado or even a warning for severe. It will be interesting to see if the low chance happens.
Southern Minnesota roads closed. It's been a few years since I've seen that.
I didn't know ground blizzards could be seen on satellite. A few other interesting features too if you look closely.
Reminds me of December 15, 2021. Minnesota has never had a day with multiple tornadoes in November and only a few tornadoes overall. I was hoping for the snow side.
