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.

Rain here for the past hour in Alpena. 15 miles away inland there is already 2".

Was staying on N side of Hubbard Lk at some cottages during the 11/16/89 bliz. RN->SN and 10" but with the SLP bombing to 964 mb near James Bay the winds roaring through the forest was insane. Listening to my trusty NOAA Wx radio I always took along, KAPN non-stop broadcasting the storm conditions was memorable. Baro kept going down and down and down. 96 knot gusts reported at Presque Isle Light!

Man I was only 3 yrs old. I do remember snowier winters in the late 80s to 90s as a kid here tho. Btw it's now finally puking flakes and it's time for bed. Hoping to wake up to atleast a few inches ( that's what she said)

Couple inches in the ground. Wind is causing drifting but not horrible. I drove through a snow devil on my way home which was cool. Flake size increases dramatically under lake effect bands. If that can get going there will be some good totals and true blizzard conditions tomorrow.

At least you got winter and a White Christmas secured. Doubt it will reach that level here.
