weatherbo Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 3 hours ago, roardog said: What do the least snowiest records look like around there? There’s obviously a lot of winter to go there but I would think this winter would be in the running right now. Not sure area wide, but here's every winter since 1980 for Negaunee Twp. It's pretty cluttered, but the green shaded area at the bottom is this year. There's been a few clunkers. I've dm'd the weather office and asked what the least snowy winter on record was there but even that only dates back to 1961. The graph is a week or so old. MQT currently stands at 72.6 for the season, average to date is 128.6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Snow underway here. The hi-res models depicted an hour of rain at onset, but it was mostly frozen from the get go. Ground is wet, deck is white. NWS says 3-5” game on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwohweather Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Brutal back to back misses for Toledo per the models. Also, anyone notice that system in the Atlantic towards hour 170? Looks a bit like a warm core system to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calumet is already over 100 inches this winter and it’s only mid Feb. I can’t even imagine how snowless those winters felt at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's interesting is 1930-31 and 1925-26 are on the top of Duluths snowless list. Yet 1925-26 was Detroits 3rd snowiest winter with 78.0". Must have been an interesting storm track. 1930-31 was a drought winter and bad in most places, but a March snowstorm did save face some in the southern Lakes.

OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Over-performer underway, especially in the northern suburban counties which were upgraded to a WSW. Persistent heavy snow dropped 4”+ north of town by 7pm. Eyeballing close to 2” imby, hopefully will tack on a couple more inches. My grass is completely covered for the first time since Halloween. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnchaserguy Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 One of the more unique WWA and WSW combinations I’ve ever seen. Glad I finally got under the over performing band for a change. . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Snow will be winding down over the next hour. Walked the dog half an hour ago and there was ~5” otg. This is one of the better sneak attacks I can remember, thanks for the v-day gift Mother Nature. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 MSP official storm total of 6.9” on 0.41” of precipitation. This sets a new snowfall record for Valentine’s Day in Minneapolis. Snowfall futility is now off the table as our season total jumps up to 14.2” which is the record low from winter 1930/31. The wet nature of the snow at onset will make for some great scenes when the sun rises. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestMichigan Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 We don't have MSP's totals, but it was definitely puking fatties on the way in to work this morning. Easily 1-2"+ diameter snowflakes. Too bad there was a little mixed precip thrown in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it when you can look outside when it is dark and still see the flakes because they are so big!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwx Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 About an inch of pure slush. Hope it can melt today so I don’t have to shovel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Measured 5.8” this morning on the deck. Surprised at how light and powdery this is, even at the bottom. Very easy to shovel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 2 inches here overnight with prolonged lake snows setting up today through Sunday. Could see some decent totals when all is said and done. Getting closer and closer to that 100" mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I got 0.18" of rain, the first precip in three weeks. My area is still in extreme drought, so we'll take whatever we can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Dry east wind making alot of the precip virga here. Guess I'll have to get excited for hopefully atleast an hour of good snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Well we ended up with a nice 2-3" of snow from this storm. Classic mid-March storm with the rain at the beginning last night and then turning over into slushy snow overnight. Its become sunny now and the snow caked on the trees is really pretty right now before the sune melts it. Will have a nice cooldown into the 20s the next couple of days, but right back to average in the upper 30s and 40s on Sunday. Talk about a perfectly stereotypical mid-March pattern....wait what do you mean its February 15th?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
