    Duration won’t be long but this is going to be a memorable snow event for me just from the intensity. Interstate 90 probably isn’t very fun right now.

    Thundersnow! Multiple flashes and long rumbles.

    I’m in Sioux Falls SD for work and I’ve never seen a deathband like this. The snowflakes are half dollar size or larger. Madness

    Just over a half inch of fluff here today.

    Been a pretty solid start to winter here compared to the rest of the sub. 15.5” on the season, 4-5” otg at the moment, thanks to that thread the needle event when I was in CA. We’ve been staying below freezing most days and the nights have been in the low teens. Saw the first few brave anglers stepping out on the ice yesterday. Most of the area lakes are frozen over now but I’d give it a couple more weeks to firm up.

    8.3” fell today in Minneapolis. Heart of the metro was the bullseye on this one. Go figure I’m out exploring the Big Sur region with the family on what’s bound to be the biggest event this year imby.

    Up to 4” here from the multiple bouts of light snow the past several days.

    Steady light snow all day. Didn’t really add up to much though, it just kept the 2.5” from yesterday from melting.
  12. OrdIowPitMsp
    Good. Build that base up at Lutsen. long duration light snow event here, 2-2.5” otg but with marginally temps it’s taking heavier rates to lead to accumulation.

    2” here today with 3-4” reports across northern metro. Certainly caught a lot of people off guard as the number of spin outs and crashes was substantial. I guess I could put this in the thread for the 11/15-16 event but since we have another 2-4” forecasted tomorrow night I’ll save that for there.

    Only 0.87” of rain materialized here. Far too little to even make a dent in the drought. Peaked at 68 this morning before the cold front came through, down to 46 and crashing now. We won’t get more then a degree or two above freezing for the next week. Lakes will be frozen soon enough!

    Looking pretty locked in for a significant rain event here this week before being blasted into winter. Hallelujah! Since September 1st Minneapolis has seen 0.75” of precipitation. Most small streams have been dry for months and I’ve never seen the lakes anywhere close to this low. Great to see a classic wound up Dakota special. Means winter is here.

    First flakes of the season in Minneapolis. Accumulating on grassy surfaces. Good to be back in the game.

    With 0.23” and nothing in the forecast this will be the driest September on record for MSP. June-September will be 4th driest on record and driest since 1936.
  18. OrdIowPitMsp
    Only 0.16” of rain yesterday. Since June 1st only 27% of average precipitation has accumulated.

    It was still 90F with a dew point of 75F in Minneapolis as of 9:50pm. Crazy stuff. 2nd summer in a row here with severe drought. Plants and some trees that aren’t getting supplemental water are showing signs of stress. MCS out in western Minnesota is giving me a little hope this evening.

    https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=KORD @Hoosier With the update it now shows to the tenth of a degree if you click on the line graph.
  21. OrdIowPitMsp
    While it is 90 degrees currently at MSP, dews have dropped well below forecast into the upper 40s. Feel nice out compared to 101/68 yesterday.

    MSP has been mentioning a flash drought developing in numerous AFDs over the past 10 days. We’ve fallen 0.70” below average year to date and over 2” below average for June.
  24. OrdIowPitMsp
    MSP now up to 101. Old record high was 98. https://twitter.com/NWSTwinCities/status/1538991985003941890?s=20&t=aKsREXcyLjlBXgGnN7n5FQ
