That would be the one benefit. I think my companies policy is 0F and below. Or if wind chill is -20F and below. My work tablet probably won’t work right on Tuesday with that cold.

I’ll have to double check but I believe our WC criteria is -30F. We were supposed to switch to tablets years ago but they are still sitting on my supervisors desk, honestly I prefer using paper, I can keep my gloves on.

At least the lack of snowcover will moderate temps somewhat here. Monday is looking frigid but still warm enough to work outside, company policy is air temp of -10F or below we stay inside. 

If we don’t get a few inches of snow otg here there’s going to be issues with deep frost wrecking havoc on buried infrastructure. 
 

Still waiting for my grass to be completely covered for the first time since Halloween. 

Keep scooting west. I need less arctic air for skiing on Saturday.

I will end this storm with 13.2" in IC

Biggest storm for the I-380 corridor since December 2009?

makes more sense, that's historically a location folks downsize out of not into, i was imagining the 7000 sqft mansion was the downsize

Grew up slightly silver spoon-fed in Bannockburn. Moms got Dementia so they snowbird at a gated community in the Coachella Valley and summers in HP.

Back on topic, getting some light snow on the west side of town.

posts that beg some questions 

Ask away. They are in a 1600sq/ft HoA surrounded by 7000sq/ft mansions. 

My parents downsized a few years ago to a place right by Ravinia in Highland Park. Gotta ask my old man for the ring camera password so I can snoop on conditions. 

0.5” should be the final storm total here. 
 

6.1” season to date

18z says no more snow for Minneapolis. What a flip flop from last year.

Stuck in a dry pocket on the north side. Sometimes I really hate that I care…

After receiving 90-100” last winter it’s no surprise that we are getting missed this year. I’m with ya though.

Getting some snow across the far southern suburbs in Prior Lake Minnesota. Looks like a general 1-2” for the twin cities. 

Miss south. 

Another 0.3” overnight. Truly a winter of nickel and dimes.

I’d honestly be happy if we squeaked out a few inches from this after it looked like a complete miss for us.

Agreed, any accumulations whatsoever will be a score for me. We need to lay down something resembling a snowpack for the incoming arctic air.

00z NAM:

Snow output in N IL weirdly spotty with 6 in Kane & DeKalb county but only 3-4 north of that.

The low tracked through the middle of lower Wisconsin.

5.5” imby? Probably a toss but it has my attention. 

He can keep creating new usernames all he wants. It seems banning him set the stage for an active period in the region, we can play this game again in 4-6 weeks. 

0.2” overnight here, just enough to grease the roads.

Only 1 week of model mayhem to go. It's funny that 7 days out, the Euro, GFS, and Canadian are shockingly similar. Im sure as we get closer they will diverge more.

Fully expecting mby to see less then 4” through this period but it’s absolutely wonderful to have lots of active wx to track in the region.

I have a 2 year old who has yet to go sledding due to the lack of snow the past couple seasons. She is old enough to keep up with her big siblings now, so hoping to be buried (mostly so I can send their asses outside and get some peace and quiet, lol). 

We got our 2 year old on skis this year. He loves sledding, and seems to really enjoy skiing too.

Mood flakes all morning here. 

Spitting flurries today, lakes starting to freeze up, hopefully for good.
