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.

Getting some light pixie dust. It’s warmed up to -4 so the atmosphere is primed.

MSP only dropped to -9 overnight. We should pop above zero today after ~65-70 hours below zero.

High of -2 at MSP today.
