South MSP was forecasted to be on the low end Hrrr was putting out 1-2” for most of the metro south of I-694 last night. This storm actually ended up closer to what was modeled a couple days ago. 6-8” across the north metro. 4-6” across the central metro and 3-5” across southern portions. Imo the airport is at the southern end of the central metro, and south of the Minnesota River is what I’d consider south metro. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnchaserguy Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 MSP picked up 3-8” across the entire metro area. South MSP was forecasted to be on the low end The forecast was much different when the winter storm watches for 5-8” was originally issued and forecast. A lot changed in the models after that. Edited to add the weather story graphic from a couple days ago from MPX that highlighted the south metro being in the bullseye. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvck Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Ended up with 2-3” I believe, didn't do any measurements but enough to cover the grass is a success in my book!

OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Storm total was 3.3” here on only 0.14” of precipitation. 23:1 ratio if my math is correct. Down to -3F at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 -sd's to -20's across the area this morning. Looks like this coming week is going to be a cold, dry stretch with a stronger shot of colder air coming in tomorrow. Also looks like the winds will stay a bit mellow, which will allow for rapid ice formation here on the W side of the Lake. A lot less sea smoke rising from the open water now, which is a sign of near freezing water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 So while yesterday's storm ended up being not that big of a deal in the MSP metro, further E it was actually a pretty significant storm. Wausau recorded 9.5" and reported a snow depth of 12" after yesterday and Green Bay recorded 7" with 8 on the ground as of yesterday. That's a signifcant hit, and does bode well for us down below as it finally sets up a N-S snow depth gradient for storms to track. Edit: This also means that Wausau and Green Bay are at 14.2 and 10.6 inches of snow for the month, respectively. Crazy how just two storms changes things up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot less sea smoke rising from the open water now, which is a sign of near freezing water. I think the past two winters being so mild for most of the Great Lakes( I know 22-23 wasn't mild from Minnesota on west though)along with such a warm Fall last year might have allowed the warmer water to get a little deeper in the lakes. It hasn't been a warm winter at all but it seems like it's taking extra long for the lakes to cool down with the exception of Erie but that's a shallow lake. I mean, December was right around normal here with some very cold balanced out by a few very mild days at the end of the month, January had below normal temperatures with definitely some very extreme cold mixed in that you don't see every winter, yet Lake Huron still has some 40 degree water temps in the deep part. I can't remember seeing that happen when it hasn't been a mild winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's modeled data, and I've found some more to go back to 1806 now. With super computers, and some wx data from way back then, they put out some stuff. I'm sure they have records to use that we don't have. It's estimated of course, and I won't use it, unless I have a least 2 datasets for an avg. Currently using 7 sets from 1850, but earlier is 2 or 3. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
