Don't be a pessimist now. lol You'll see more later in Nov and Dec. The patterns I'm seeing for then should do you well a time or two. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Grass is getting covered now. Just a steady light snow here. Roads will be next as the sun lowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 Day 3 marginal risk for areas that received significant snow yesterday. Temps/dews will be well into the 70s/60s. Quite the turnaround. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Just got home after a nightmare drive back from Rochester on US-52. Multiple spin outs. Between compaction and melting I don’t think we will see this stay around for long. Lots of dripping off the garage. Thank goodness most trees are bare or this could have caused widespread tree damage. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Areas just south of Louisville got 5 inches of rain yesterday / early today with no flooding and our dry spell wasn’t nearly as bad as around Indy, so the ground can take it.

MNstorms Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Thursday storm has been trending south. Still rain for me but Twin Cities snow chances increasing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 It still looks like we are south of the action according to the latest NWS thinking. 33F all night. Took the dog out at 5am and felt like it was raining with the amount of slush and snow dripping off the trees. Slopfest 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 MSP finished with 7.9” at the midnight observation from yesterday’s event. 2nd heaviest October snowfall behind the infamous halloween blizzard of 91’ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 What a storm for Minneapolis. im a little jealous but not too much, winter is so long and Fall so short. It will be interesting to see how long the snow sticks around as it's so early. We had 0.7" on May 10 that melted in about 3 hours. meanwhile our 9" snowstorm last November 11th didn't fully melt for 11 days, and that was "only" 3 weeks later in the calendar year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 7.9" its definitely possible. 9.2" on November 11 was our biggest event last winter. Ninas are so active i personally don't think it'll be MSP biggest storm, however in a different winter I could absolutely see a scenario where an 8" storm on Oct 20 that melts in a few days is the biggest event, 2 months before the winter solstice, but then winter ends up being a decent clipper winter where you have lots of snow fun but just don't quite eclipse that biggest storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get a trough centered over the Great Plains then a big dog western lakes cutter should do the trick. Just gotta wait and see what Mother Nature throws at us. The northland is off to a very fast start with their 3rd significant storm bearing down tomorrow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the days of the ridiculous Northwest trend are gone, that's definitely a difference from 2008. personally I want a snowy December. the last 2 years had snowy Novembers and mild Decembers. Fast starts sometimes scare me lol. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 1-3" near the lakeshore with 6-7" in the ridges along the North Shore. Mainly a rain/snow mix event tomorrow for me with gusty winds off the Lake, but the higher terrain could see a another 6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Seems like a south trend in the models is developing this year. Yesterday’s storm was only supposed to put down 0-2” changing over to rain in Rochester but they stayed all snow and ended with more then 3”. Tomorrow’s event has also been bumping south. No weakening however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully the fall colors came early this year and most of the leaves are gone. Already lost a couple inches today with mid 30s and drizzle. Tomorrow looks like heavier rain south of the Twin Cities so there might be a small area that keeps it on the north side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colors came early but they are hanging on longer than they do in some years. id say we've been peak for at least a week and still there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 Elevated showers/storms working in here. Could be some nice downpours this evening. Looking forward to the mid-upper 70s tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
