Chinook Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 This is one of the first times my place has had a north/northeasterly wind flow for a long time. Also note my area was 6 degrees above normal in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently 30" on the ground. 45N and north is a different planet. ORD has only had 13 days with 2"+ snow on the ground this season, and zero days with 4"+. Yes it is a little different up this way. Canada starts here ay! LOL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much do you want to bet Minnesota will be stuck on the cold side of the warm front this spring while the rest of you get to enjoy the warm sector? Or it might just snow here until May. That’s also a possibility. . We've done a lot better in Detroit than Chicago. Not good, but a lot better. But I'm different than most. I'd rather be on the cold side of the warm sector and have snow into May. And actually it has been snowing into late April and May in recent years lol.

madwx Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 core of the coldest air seems to be centered around next Tuesday. highs will struggle to reach freezing. Moderation should occur into the latter half of next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Mood flakes+ all day added up to 0.4” by 6pm bumping Minneapolis up to 75.1” on the season. We had a decent band work through between 630-8 that should add some more to the total. As a harbinger to the date on the calendar very little accumulated on paved surfaces until the sun set.

HRR still seems to perform well with LES around here atleast.

Not the dude to answer this but growing up my neighbors were spotters and I always felt a little safer knowing my neighbors were keeping an eye on the skies with me. At the very least it makes you a good neighbor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm spotting classes is a good way to learn a little meteorology and also to get to know a couple of the mets at your NWS office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnchaserguy Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 The next big weekly snowstorm for MSP is on the 12z Euro for next Friday. Right now it shows about 15” imby. Let’s see how much that number gets whittled down between now and then. . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Temps hovered in the mid 30s all afternoon and the snow depth compacted from 5" to 3", which is now freezing up and crunchy. Saw this big snowman tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 MSP is up to 102 consecutive days with 1”+ snow cover, and 111 total days for the season. There were 9 days of snow cover earlier in November, before the streak began on 11/30. Should easily add 5-7 more days, and possibly 10. Unfortunately it only takes a couple of mild or rainy days to wipe out snow cover in mid-late March, even if it’s currently a glacier. One of my favorite places (Minocqua WI) basically has the same numbers as MSP this season. Their consecutive 1”+ snow cover record is probably unbreakable, 150 days from 11/23/1996 to 4/21/1997. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Was bracing for a crappy day with cold temps and overcast the whole day; instead its 80-90% blue skies and warmer by about a degree . What is most betwixing: hourlies/current still show overcast the rest of the day and temp -5C!!! Keep circling that drain twn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
