0.6” reported at 6am, with some light snow since. We had a long stretch of freezing drizzle overnight. Temps are beginning to crash after holding steady around 26-27F overnight. Today will be the classic midnight high.

Clipper #2 has brought a fresh dusting of pixie dust so far. Areas a couple counties north of me are going to do well but we should manage ~1” to boost the meager snowpack. Gradient of 2-3” down to 0.5” from north to south across Hennepin County according to the HRRR.

Tonight’s Clipper is trending towards a dusting for my backyard. Near miss to the north. Northern Minnesota is the place to be. GFS looking quite dry for most of the subforum.

24hr total of 0.8” at MSP. The high of 28 today is our warmest temp so far this month.

Technically it’s a different system, (Clipper) but the calendar date lines up so I’ll post here. Solid DAB+ in the Twin Cities. Evening commute was a total mess. Don’t know what MSP officially recorded but they did just report a 1” snowdepth at 6pm so at least 0.5”

Hopefully these maps look different next week.

The Saturday/Sunday clipper is trending much better for Minnesota. Could squeeze out a few inches here but a lot of time for that to change.

I’ll take this pattern over firestorms. Must be acclimating because 5F doesn’t feel that bad this morning.

We had some high clouds today. One of the more interesting thing to happen so far this month.

All hail king euro.

Still no precipitation showing up on the models within 200 hours imby. zzzzzzzzzz

-1F for the morning low.

MSP managed a 5min obs of -1F for the official low. 4th below zero low of the season.

Stubbornly sitting at 0 this morning. Going to be a cold day for skiing but I’m dedicated.

8F this morning. We’d be stringing together multiple mornings below zero if there was snow cover.
