  1. I felt chilly last night around 10pm when the air temp dropped into the 70s. Amazing how quickly the body acclimates.
  2. I’m ready for a weather whiplash today. Currently it’s 30 degrees with a very light dusting of snow overnight. Heading to visit my parents in Palm Desert CA, where we will be pushing 100 the next several days
  3. Snow showers here as well. Freeze warning tonight
  4. Mid 40s and lots of rain today, a few rumbles of Thunder too. All this moisture is great. Winds were really kicking earlier. 30 degrees warmer down I-35 in Des Moines.
  5. Grass/shrubs off to the races now. Trees looking ready to burst into action. Mid 70s this weekend should bring out the green.
  6. Hopefully the weather is better for us in 2099. Good luck and enjoy the celestial event today everyone.
  7. Washout on Sunday. More raindrops falling this morning. Love it.
  8. September 14, 2099 there will be a Solar eclipse with the totality passing right through Minneapolis and Madison. Too bad I’ll be 109 or more likely dead. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_September_14,_2099
  9. My company doesn’t build them. We just got contracted to do some engineering work.
  10. I’m up in Maple Grove this morning. Borderline snow squall conditions at times. Definitely at least an inch down and still snowing steadily. Backwards winter!
  11. Had some snowflakes mix in with the rain today in rural Nicollet County MN where I was doing a geotechnical investigation for a future solar farm. Metro stayed dry.
  12. Good write up on the early week storm by the NWS and DNR. Revenge of the lost winter indeed. https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/climate/journal/lost-winters-revenge-storm-march-23-27.html
  13. Last chilly morning for the foreseeable future. Decent sunrise at the office this morning.
  14. Suddenly the atmosphere just wants to bless us with moisture. Flurries/light snow imby and looks like a micro weenie band across the northern suburbs
  15. A few stray flurries fill the air as the last of the snow pulls off to the NE. MSP finished with 3.9” today. Storm total snowfall of 12.1” if you include the 8.2” from Sunday night. Storm total precipitation a much needed 2.34” I can’t recall experiencing a storm quite like this one. An initial heavy thumping of wet snow followed by steady all day rain and then crashing temps with several inches of blowing light powdery snow to round it off.
  16. That map is low for the twin cities. 72hr accumulations are around 10-12”
  17. 3.5” at MSP at the 1pm measurement. Still snowing steadily with some heavier returns that’ll rotate through later this afternoon. Minneapolis has now seen 14.7” of snow since Thursday evening. We were at 14.3” season to date before this period of active weather began.
  18. Absolutely puking snow. Roads are completely covered. Building up that late March snowpack. This storm has been awesome. Finally kicked the doldrums of nothingness we’ve been in for months.
  19. This season has reminded me how true this is for our region. I won’t give my final season grade until 4/15 at the earliest and this storm has likely bumped it up a half letter. WWA hoisted for a couple more inches of snow with the deformation band as we fall back below freezing overnight into tomorrow morning. There will be a rock solid glacier by Wednesday, which looks downright frigid for late March.
  20. Quite a late season rally for Minneapolis. We’ve moved to 18th least snowy season all time and should be outside the top 20 after the deformation snows tomorrow. 25.6” season to date.
