Just can’t get juicy storms to enter our region. I thought your region just scored with Monday's system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Potent squall ripping through the area along a cold front right now. Might be a quick hitting 1" lol. Visibility down to 0.2 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 5 hours ago, madwx said: Have some blowing dust in the farm fields by my house. Pretty unusual for February I had something in Wausau today, and traveing back on I-39 from Stevens Point to Portage was a pretty stressful drive with the blowing dust. Had a few plumes cross the road that were so thick it was hazards on and 45mph on the interstate for about a mile before it lightened up again. Would have expected that with snow on February 6th, not dust. Really goes to show just how it dry it has been period, frozen or otherwise, the last couple months. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 This has turned into a nuisance 2-4” snowfall at best for the Twin Cities. Old patterns die hard. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No such thing as nuisance snow, but I understand the disappointment. It's been amazing to watch the totals decrease with every run. Terrible, awful, no good winter continues. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnchaserguy Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 We’ve seen plenty of winter storm fails over the years around here but it has been truly so to watch this one go from potential 12” to possibly less than 2” in just a couple days. That dry slot is really going to mess things up for southern MN. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Early data in for Jan, and we are starting the year on a slightly negative note. Thinking this will end up similar to 2019 after the other datasets update later in the month. 5 & 10 yr trend charts shown respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Further north track and dry air win again. We have less then half an inch of new snow and probably won’t eclipse an inch. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Laugh all you want @Powerballbut we’ve definitely eclipsed an inch. Puking massive cotton balls currently. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnchaserguy Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I think I got a solid 4-5” so far. Big band of snow just to my south should help make up a bit for most of the metro. . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m eyeballing around 2” on the deck here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 2.9” at MSP at noon. Snow is just ending so ~3” will likely be the final total. Definitely rallied hard with the weenie band that saved this from being a total bust. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnchaserguy Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Ended up with about 5” here in the northern MSP suburbs. Dog was happy about it. Edit: Snow report just to my west just came in at 7”. Not bad at all. . 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvck Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 pretty big bust so far here, most of the snow is just north of mt. pleasant. Had about 30min of light snow earlier, which laid down like 0.2", and I think we could get maybe 1" more with a slight south tick. GRR had us at 2-4" this morning.

I thought I might be on the wrong side of that cutoff with the way the short term models were looking but it's been snowing here since about 1:30, sometimes pretty hard. If you go about 20 miles south of here, there's been pretty much nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left about 4 in snow under 1/2 mi vis. Get to Mt. Pleasant and just a smattering and little snow cover. The snow shield does sweep south later like they've had West of us. Snowing here in Jackson too maybe 1/2 inch down here so far. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Thanks man, yeah that heavier band finally ticked south a bit and we've actually got decent rates atm. i honestly just want the grass to get mostly covered, it makes the cold so much more palatable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
