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.
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.
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!
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.
I’m definitely disappointed we missed out on big dog numbers. It looks like 10-14” totals in the southern burbs a few miles south of the airport, but this has still been a quality storm. Snowing all day and top tier time outside with the kids.
Yeah bit of a bust in the metro as the most intense banding ended up ~75 miles south where 20”+ totals are verifying. Still a really high quality storm here at least, we’ll see what the afternoon brings.
