After that, 60's will require a winter jacket when you get back here.
I felt chilly last night around 10pm when the air temp dropped into the 70s. Amazing how quickly the body acclimates.

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.

Grass is getting greener real quick here, too. Budding will take a little more time closer to the lake, as we tend to stay a little cooler. Longer days, and warmer temps. Time for summer season.
Highway 61 traffic jams imminent.

Grass/shrubs off to the races now. Trees looking ready to burst into action. Mid 70s this weekend should bring out the green.

Washout on Sunday. More raindrops falling this morning. Love it.

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.

Ease up on the solar farms plz. Ugly ass things are popping up everywhere.
My company doesn’t build them. We just got contracted to do some engineering work.

Surprise snow here in MSP this morning. Roads are just wet but I bet we will pick up a quick inch in the grass. It’s coming down about as hard as it has all winter.
.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!

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.

Good write up on the early week storm by the NWS and DNR. Revenge of the lost winter indeed.

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

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.

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.

Looks like the rain/snow line has collapsed through the city now. What a wild event for your area…
The qpf amount is impressive for the Midwest
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.

1) Its WAY to earlier to even discuss the likelihood of season futility being achieved in the midwest/Lakes in Dec, Jan, or Feb, no matter how bad it has been.
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.

Rain was a dud here today. Let’s see what tonight brings.
Tornado Sirens blaring down in Des Moines.
