weatherbo Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I think 2' is pretty reasonable bet for your area, perhaps upwards of 30", When the LES kicks in after later in the week I bet you have a solid 30" snowpack already and not even mid November yet! On a side note, you consider getting satellite internet, I know not ideal but could be better then relying on AT&T especially where you are. Have family who were using the same thing switched to satellite and have been much happier. Latency is bad but speeds overall are pretty good. hey, Josh... Also, this will be a nice base to start with, being wet and heavy, rather than the 35" of powder I had last season. couldn't even sled for a while because it was so deep with no base, and no thaws to create one. I looked into the sat service but they didn't offer enough GB. the plan I have with At&t is 40GB a month. the signal isn't too bad either. Good luck with your LE later in the week!

Chitown Storm Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Just spoke to a customer in Wilmar, MN (90 mi west of the Cities). He said near white out conditions right now. 35DBZ showing on radar. Southern edge of heavy snow back building south thru the TC metro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm sitting in Blaine (north MSP suburb) I'm glad that the radar is trending my way. If I'm in Apple Valley (south), ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Co-worker of mine lives in Burnsville. She said she has no snow on the ground. Razor sharp gradient right thru the metro right now. From the cities on north we should do pretty well. Might not get what was forecasted yesterday, but nothing wrong with the first snowfall being 8"+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Several locations at 1/8 mile currently. That's pure rippage. Would truly suck to reside somewhere just south of that sharp cutoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because theres no worse place to be right now than extreme southern Minnesota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some pingers hitting the window now with a pocket of deep returns blossoming overhead. Looks like you might be able to hang onto the snow for a bit if it keeps reforming right over the immediate metro. Northward progression has definitely slowed. just starting to spit snow. should be a fun ride! before pic: DSCF3738.JPG That table or bench you have out there is going to be buried - you won't be able to find it! haha Enjoy the storm, be safe.

Interestingly enough, on the local news this morning, this storm was story number 3. A cupcake social event the Marquette sewing club is putting on beat it :/ Thanks, Geos!

Welcome to the UP ... snow is rarely the top story ... just a part of life Got to love it. I remember the front page of the Daily Mining Gazette in Houghton being a squirrel on a bird feeder and the picture was 1/3 of the front page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 @ Whitelakeroy - that's too funny about the squirrel! Definitely a different pace of life up there. Would be nice to get that kind of news around here once in awhile. Here is a camera out of Maple Grove, MN - pure rippage! Otsego, just up 94.

tuanis Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 My flight out of MSP was cancelled. I'm staying close to the airport near Richfield. A couple ugly inches of slop fell prior to the band lifting north. We're getting precip again now, but it's pretty mixy. Hope that deform band can deliver later. Was certainly nice to use the storm as an excuse to miss another day of work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to just love low visibility like that knowing it is not fog My dad had that squirrel photo hanging in his garage for the longest time (it was from the early 90s when I was at Tech). I am not sure if he kept it when they moved a few years ago. I am going to see them soon so if he kept it I will post a picture of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 the rarity of 20"+ synoptic events in the great lakes Assuming anyone gets that outside the lake belts.. I think that's a pretty obvious and safe bet, especially if the higher numbers verify. You don't see too many 20" + synoptic events in the Midwest and Ohio Valley. Big question is whether those higher numbers actually verify They could over the UP via help from Superior.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_4184 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Assuming anyone gets that outside the lake belts.. They could over the UP via help from Superior.. ^ What he said, Lake Enhancement could/will play a big part in the accumulations, especially over the higher terrain. Its amazing what 4-500 feet elevation can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
