Made it to 37 here. Was able to take the sweatshirt off for a short 10min stint today.

Just checked. March averages the most 6” and 8” storms at MSP, and is our second snowiest month.

We sure do. I still think we are paying for winter 22/23’ but we tend to get juicy storms in Spring.

MSP is 1.6” below average and nothing on the horizon. March will be ours.

The next week is going to feel fantastic, and likely obliterate our meager snowpack.

1.4” of snow at MSP today. 29.3” season to date.

January 2026 at MSP: Average temp 13.7F (2.5F below average) 12 lows below zero (2 at zero) 2 daily highs below zero. 4.1” of snow - 28 days of at least 1” snowcover at the airport. (Mby had continuous snowcover)

Little bit less then an inch here this morning to cover up the frozen dog turds and freshen up the pack. Best action here in weeks

Down to 0 at MSP this morning.

MSP eeked out a low of -1 this morning. We’ve now had a low temperature at or below zero for 14 of the past 15 days.

I’ll bite. I enjoy it immensely. I would much rather work outside in a week of -10/+10 temps then 90+ with 70+ dews. I’m outside 80% of the time with my job so I have experience in all weather Minnesota can throw at me. I’m a diehard skier too so that’s an added reason I love deep winter. I’m ready for a pattern shakeup so we can get some fresh snow. There has only been one calendar day snowfall of 1” this month at MSP. I think it’s kinda strange how much you bitch and moan about the weather in a region you don’t frequently visit, but hey it’s a free country.

Got a little windy in La Crosse last evening.

MSP got to -13 last night.

Temp has risen to 0 at MSP. The airport was below zero for 67 hours.

MSP crew joining the fun.
