  1. First garden variety storm of the season rolled through.
  2. Benefits of working outside. Osprey got some breakfast.
  3. I work outside…in Minnesota. It’s been an easy spring.
  4. Another near miss with several inches of snow just to my north and 30s and rain for the metro. I’ll happily take the precipitation.
  5. Bust of a WSW for the inner metro. Just a glaze of sleet and ice on elevated surfaces at home. April snowstorm just 50-60 miles north.
  6. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen an inch+ of sleet but that might change tonight. Metro is going to be brutally close to the snow/sleet/freezing rain cutoff line.
  7. MSP saw an average temperature of 39.1F in March, which is 5.8F above average. 1.29” of precipitation, which is 0.39” below average. 11.3” of snow fell, which is 3.1” above average.
  8. Quite a bit of sleet and freezing rain modeled to impact the metro area this evening. Rooting for the warm nose to over preform and keep us liquid on this one.
  9. Couple legit snow chances over the next week here. Typical spring whiplash doing its thing after hitting 70 yesterday and today. I’ll take the precip in any form it comes.
  10. Lake Nokomis officially iced out yesterday. Just about a week ahead of the long term average. Ice-In was November 30th this year. Not bad for an urban lake. Went by Lake Minnetonka yesterday. Still quite a bit of ice still on the lake.
  11. Annual pond skip yesterday at the ski hill for closing day. Always a good time. Sun came out and warmed us to the low 50s for a fantastic final day on the slopes for winter 25/26. I got 24 days on the snow this winter. Lutsen is open through at least May 3rd so I still have options to get on the snow one more time since everything out west is toast.
  12. Was lucky enough to catch several flashes during the April 2018 blizzard.
  13. Saw my first flash of lightning of 2026 driving into work this morning. Storm missed me to the north.
  14. 72 today. Last weeks snow is a very distant memory.
  15. It’s already started. https://www.denverpost.com/2026/03/21/24-fire-chama-canyon-mandatory-evacuation/
  16. Point forecast of 76 today. Closing weekend at the ski hill. Gonna enjoy the slush and sun! Wish I had a good costume or something outlandish to wear. Our friend is going to ski in a poop emoji outfit.
  17. Stayed very mild overnight. 60 today, mid 70s tomorrow. Nice sunset out the front door last night.
  18. 52 at MSP. Forecast was right on target here. Snowpack has taken quite the beating today.
  19. 7am snowdepth down to 3” Today is likely the last day of 1”+ snowcover at MSP for now. There have been 89 days of 1”+ snowcover this season. Average is 100
  20. Saturday March 20th has an absurdly low record high of 66 in Minneapolis. Mid/upper 70s in the days surrounding. I think we tag 70 and I’ll be on the ski hill for closing weekend.
  21. 0.9” of snow last evening at MSP. 48.5” season to date
  22. Wife has a coworker who lives in Marquette and shared this pic.
  23. The 8.8” of snow at MSP contained 0.75” of water content for a SLR of approx 12:1
