59’d today. That elusive first 60 of the year will have to wait. Edit: didn’t wait long. Temps are rising after sunset. 61 now!!!

Very active look around my parts. Several inches possible midweek and big dog potential on the table next weekend. Whether it snows or not, just wonderful to have multiple events to track for once.

AI is getting better

We had a litter of bunnies in our garden last spring. It was amazing how fast they went from hairless newborns to regular looking cottontails.

Springtime in Minnesota featuring two confused rabbits.

The lakes are shrouded in fog coming off the ice. At this rate the urban lakes will be ice free in a week or so. So far we’ve picked up under a 1/10” of rain. Far cry from the 0.50-1.00” totals advertised a few days ago.

I’ve been seeing trumpeter swans for a week. The robins must have gotten the memo it’s now Metrological spring because I saw close to a dozen this morning. The ground is still frozen and somewhat snow covered.

This time yesterday the hrrr was showing 4-6” imby. Only model putting accumulating snow imby fwiw. Didn’t see a flake within 75 miles. Euro did decent with the placement of the band but not the totals.

Can’t give a winter grade when big dog season is upon us in MN. I love the active look even it means rain imby with a footer a few counties north.

50 at MSP, whiplash tomorrow with 1-3” of snow possible, although each model run bumps it further north.

Morning low of 10. Snowdepth holding steady at 4”

Just got put under a WWA for freezing rain and sleet. Currently it’s 80/20 sleet/freezing rain.

Morning low of 3 at MSP.

Central Park has a cumulative snow total of 22.7” the previous 3 seasons combined. Let them have their moment.
