    Hard not to get excited about this upcoming stretch for us in Minnesota.

    Local ski hill (Welch Village) closed for the season yesterday. I only made it out 16 times this winter. I’d blame the weather for not getting at least 30 days on the snow but in reality parenting got in the way. Pretty damn proud of how the season went given the multitude of challenges running a ski hill must have been in the Midwest this winter.

    We still have another month until our annual April Blizzard.

    Any disappointment I had from missing out on futility was replaced by watching the joy on my kids face. If it ends up being rain or snow, I don’t care at this point. I’m just glad there’s something of interest to track again and hopefully knock back the drought concerns.

    Few flurries this morning. Low 20s and breezy, but otherwise the benign weather continues.

    The full run GFS gives Minneapolis nearly 30” of snow, starting with a system next Thursday. That would get us within striking distance of normal snowfall for the season. Won’t happen but hopefully this is a signal for some unsettled weather to assist our parched soils.

    High clouds. Not a drop of moisture. Just a trace of precipitation through the first half of March.

    Seeing some Hastas and Tulips starting to emerge here. Euro beats out the American guidance. Precip chances have been squashed.

    The theme of models drying things out as an event gets closer continues for Minnesota. What was looking like a decent 0.5-1.0” event for the southern half of Minnesota now is trending to be a thin band of 0.5” somewhere south of the metro. Just hope we can score a few tenths imby. Good luck with the convection for those to my south east.

    Did some skiing today at Welch Village. Started out very firm with temps in the low 20s but the March sun did it’s job and things became soft goodness and bottomless slush. My second favorite snow type to powder. Harvested lots of spring corn today.

    Jelly. Nothing but sun soaked here.

    Thanks for the info @Geoboy645 not going to get much precipitation with polar air in control.

    Long range makes me think it’s the return of the Dust Bowl. I wonder what the record is for latest into the new year before Minneapolis surpasses 1” of precipitation for the year.
  14. OrdIowPitMsp
    Another miss SE for much needed precipitation. 0.78” since January 1st in Minneapolis. That has to be among the lowest total in the region. I noticed some trees are budding down in the Minnesota River valley.

    We went from the earliest 70 on record yesterday to snow flurries today. Second weather whiplash in under a week.
  16. OrdIowPitMsp
    We made it up to at least 72 today before temps began to crash with the cold front. Spent about 90min above 70 this afternoon. Down to 63 now.
  17. OrdIowPitMsp
    72 under cloudy (smoke?) skies. Breaks the earliest 70 on record value by 2 days.
  18. OrdIowPitMsp
    Cloudier then expected today. Currently sitting at 66 with a roaring breeze. Maybe theres a bit of wildfire smoke. One popped up west of the metro today. Can’t get the tweet embedded for some reason. https://x.com/NWSTwinCities/status/1764366534166851902?s=20

    Feels like spring outside, very mild start to the day, birds chirping, earliest 70 on record seems like a lock today before we are stuck in the 40s for the next week.
  20. OrdIowPitMsp
    Forecast high of 65 today. The record is 54. Smashing temperature records by 10+ degrees is becoming old news this cold season. Earliest 70 on record at MSP is March 5th 2000. Good chance we break that record tomorrow.

    I had a choice between SE Ohio/ W PA or west Texas, easy decision. South of I-70 and east of I-71 might as well be West Virginia, beautiful and semi remote. I always thought it was funny driving east on I-70 out of Ohio where you get Wheeling and 5 minutes of WV before you enter PA. Did a few projects in the Batesville area, but a lot more in Belmont, Monroe and Guernsey counties.
  23. OrdIowPitMsp
    Wow. I’ve spent a lot of time in and around Monroe County during my 3 year stint in the oil and gas industry. Very rural, and borderline Appalachia feel to that part of Ohio, it’s a beautiful area. I lived out of the “Olive Tree Inn” in Woodsfield during winter 2014/2015 and experienced a massive snowstorm in the first few days of March. They got 12” in about 10 hours and all the roads were snowed in for a few days.

    We went from the warmest February day on record to accumulating snow the next day. These are the types of rapid changes you read about from the pioneer days when schoolchildren would freeze to death.
  25. OrdIowPitMsp
    Low of 3 here. 51 degree drop in about 18 hours.
