This camera south of Rochester appears to have been knocked offline. This is the last available stillshot
-
Missed all the heavy stuff but got a decent soak and some brief pea size hail. Temp has dropped from 66 to 43 in the last two hours.
-
Seems like most of the sub has seen as much or more precipitation in April then I have all year. (5.20” since January 1)
-
* All time April record at MSP was broken in 2018 with 15.8” during the 4/13-16 blizzard. Brilliant blue skis and bright sun also appeared the next morning.

At the airport dog park literally on the north end airport perimeter right off the runway 12L/30R threshold with a nice view of the miss south.
-
Noticing a bit of budding/green-up underway on many tree species around here. Certainty seems 2-3 weeks early
-
First 80 of the year. 81 at MSP. Masters on the iPad outside, perfect Sunday.

Hello 60 degree dews. Oh how I haven’t missed you.
-
Excellent weather in the Bay Area the past several days.
-
First garden variety storm of the season rolled through.

Benefits of working outside. Osprey got some breakfast.

I work outside…in Minnesota. It’s been an easy spring.
-
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.
-
32 and rain
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

Was lucky enough to catch several flashes during the April 2018 blizzard.
-
Saw my first flash of lightning of 2026 driving into work this morning. Storm missed me to the north.
-
72 today. Last weeks snow is a very distant memory.

It’s already started. https://www.denverpost.com/2026/03/21/24-fire-chama-canyon-mandatory-evacuation/
