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.

Point forecast of 76 today. Closing weekend at the ski hill. Gonna enjoy the slush and sun! Wish I had a good costume or something outlandish to wear. Our friend is going to ski in a poop emoji outfit.

Stayed very mild overnight. 60 today, mid 70s tomorrow. Nice sunset out the front door last night.
-
52 at MSP. Forecast was right on target here. Snowpack has taken quite the beating today.
-
7am snowdepth down to 3” Today is likely the last day of 1”+ snowcover at MSP for now. There have been 89 days of 1”+ snowcover this season. Average is 100

Saturday March 20th has an absurdly low record high of 66 in Minneapolis. Mid/upper 70s in the days surrounding. I think we tag 70 and I’ll be on the ski hill for closing weekend.

The 8.8” of snow at MSP contained 0.75” of water content for a SLR of approx 12:1
-
Air temp of 1. Heat Island kept us above zero, but still very cold for the second half of March.
-
14-16” reports down in Red Wing where my ski hill is. Think I’ll “work from home” today…
-
Low of 6F Snow depth 8” 1-3” coming tomorrow We are so back…
-
At least those totals verified, albeit further south. It annoys me a lot more when the models put out big numbers and then dry up right at showtime. Next snow event less then 48 hours away!
-
8.8” storm total at MSP. one last burst of moderate snow rotating through now. We’ll see if it adds anything. 12-14” reports 10 miles south.
-
It has snowed all afternoon as modeled with visibility between 1-2mi. I have noticed shoveled/plows surfaces have stayed wet instead of accumulating new snow and there has been compaction elsewhere. Spring.
