Light snow this morning with a solid coating. Snow shield is more expansive and further south then expected. Got down to 3F last night before temps started to slowly rise.

Updated map @cutlew

Good question I’m not entirely sure how they are made, combination of radar estimate and ground reports possibly. There were plenty of 6-7” reports around the metro that this map doesn’t reflect.

MSP recorded 5.8” of snow yesterday. Not sure how much if any was recorded after midnight to add to the final total. Roads are a sheet of ice this morning.

I think 6” attainable here, and a nice score given this kind of popped up in the last 48 hours

4.1” @ 6pm 10F Better returns are setting up SW of the metro, so totals will likely end up higher down that way. Should have light/moderate snow for another 5-6 hours.

Good day to stare out the window

MSP reporting 2” at noon. Temps falling fast now with the next wave moving in.

Got out of Target right as the heavy stuff moved in. Roads are already getting terrible.

Temps should start nose diving shortly and then we should start stacking efficiently. Solid coating on all surfaces here so far. Going to be a paste job on the trees as they freeze up.

Looking out my window, seems to be all snow at this point. Deck is getting slushy

Mixed precip just started here. Should transition to all snow pretty quickly.

I’m a fan of using change in snow depth maps vs Kuchera. Still puts down 7-10” across the metro.

I’m keeping my expectations in check with a ~6” storm, but it’s hard not to think big given model trends. NWS write up on this one will be a good read for sure.
