    Looks like MPX isn’t messing around with a WSW already posted for 4-7” meanwhile the graphic shows 6-12”

    North, South, East, West. There really isn’t a direction this thing can trend away from MSP. Ready 2b buried

    Big fluffy parachutes have been falling all morning. Adding a few tenths to the total.

    The drive from Des Moines to Minneapolis is only 3.5 hours but it’s a whole different world up here. I talk to my brother in DSM often and they’ve had plenty of days in the 40s/50s lately. We’ve still got 12”+ of glacier that isn’t going anywhere.

    Classic spring paste job. Looks like 3-3.5” at my house. The southwest suburbs hit the jackpot with 6”+ totals.

    Its just massive clumpy dendrites coating everything. Guessing 1.25-1.5” so far, looks like the convection is staying down in Iowa.

    Yeah pretty solid snow imby right now. Fat clumpy flakes sticking to everything. The forecast for days was calling for rain changing to snow, the HRRR was even showing that all day but it’s all been frozen since onset.

    My memory was hazy and my data was a little off. Here’s a graphic from the great winter of 13/14’ showing the top 10 longest snow cover streaks for Minneapolis.

    Hoping it makes it way up here. NWS seems pretty bullish on thunder chances this evening. Hopefully I can get some good flashes on the security camera during the SN+ that rolls through.

    It’s a trick due to how the radar sends out its waves and the curvature of the earth. https://www.fox9.com/weather/the-mystery-behind-the-snow-hole.amp

    The all time record for consecutive days of snow cover is 137 days for Minneapolis. 107 gets us into the top 10. We are going to keep needing these refresher events as the sun gets stronger. The big difference I’ve noticed here versus growing up in Lake County IL is even on the days that get into the upper 30s/low 40s we melt off much less snow due to the sun angle at this latitude.

    This is starting to feel like our last big dog all over again with models spitting out crazy totals. I guess that means final call imby 12.4”
  15. OrdIowPitMsp
    Models have come into good agreement on a general 2-4” tonight across the area. It’s gonna be water logged concrete.

    NAM is falling in line with the globals, Could see a heavy wet 4-7” fall across the metro tomorrow night and Monday. Snow liquid ratios may only be a little higher then what impacted MI yesterday. There’s a very snowy look into the latter half of next week. Go figure I’m flying out to Colorado on Thursday. I’ll have to bribe my neighbor with beer to shovel my sidewalk if it comes into fruition.

    It’s nice seeing it getting light out earlier in the morning, meanwhile a classic battle between globals and hi-res models regarding the precip type here tomorrow night/Monday is unfolding. 0.50” of cold rain or 6” of snow. I know which one I’m rooting for.
  18. OrdIowPitMsp
    These reports are awesome. Enjoy everyone. Cirrus soaked skies up here.
  19. OrdIowPitMsp
    You’d think there’s not much going on just looking at this map.
  20. OrdIowPitMsp
    The NAM was the only model showing a NW solution for the current storm impacting IN/MI and that failed badly. Let’s hope it has a repeat performance for us.
  21. OrdIowPitMsp
    Looks like we’ll be riding the edge of rain/snow on this one. GFS puts 6-9” down here but it’s close. Either way nice to have some active weather to track.
  22. OrdIowPitMsp
    I think it’ll be a slop storm for the metro similar to this last one, with healthy snows just to the north. Hopefully I’m wrong but seems like we are on the wrong side of the cold air line.
  23. OrdIowPitMsp
    How many times has Detroit gotten 6”+ of snow on the same day Minneapolis has a high of 40 or above. There is no cold air to be found.
  24. OrdIowPitMsp
    If recent trends this winter hold true we should be entering the “substantial drying phase” of the model watching.

    My body thinks I’m 85, I can’t sleep past 5:30am.
