mnweather Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 The models have been showing the possibility of some accumulating snow for North Dakota into MN starting later Friday and into this weekend. Exact placement of the snow band is too early to say but the potential is there for something. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prinsburg_wx Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Looks like a few chances for April snow in the region during the next 7 days with no signs of spring settling in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizznd Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Was looking like a 2-5 inch band psbl from Regina to Grand Forks to Duluth .... 12z Wed NAM a bit weaker showing 1-2 not a huge event though regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnweather Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 The 12Z ECMWF paints a swath of heavy snow over northern MN on Friday night into Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgeeWx Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Dynamics are there to support a more aggressive snow event but I doubt the moisture will get here (GFK) before moveing into MN. Pines area of MN could see 3-6" of fresh snow by Saturday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnweather Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Yeah it looks like the better moisture isnt there until its in MN. 3-6 seems like a good bet right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnweather Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Light snow has commenced in Duluth. Light dusting on the ground so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prinsburg_wx Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Light snow has commenced in Duluth. Light dusting on the ground so far. Had about a half inch here earlier. Next week midweek looks interesting via gfs/ggem for up this way...could be some nice snows somewhere. The euro seems too far south with the cold air & L placement but again that model has been terrible most of the snow season around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
