    All day snow showers today in the Twin Cities. We’ll get a coating on the grass then it will melt as rates lighten up, snow will pick back up and we’ll be covered again. Lots of drought finishing precipitation lately.

    Another morning with “white rain” and slushy accumulations on the grass.

    All night rain has turned to slushy snow imby.

    All day rain here with more in store overnight, then mixing with flakes tomorrow. Looks like a spring heart attack storm for the north shore. NWS suggesting up to 18” of heavy wet snow possible in the higher terrain. My April 23-25 ski trip in Lutsen is looking good!

    1” overnight at the airport. Looking at my backyard cam, appears a lot has melted off overnight.

    Late season snow stats courtesy of the NWS. April 1893 must have been wild in St. Cloud.

    Snow/rain showers this afternoon, I was in the yard cleaning things up and was surprised to find ice and frost beneath areas that had thick leaf cover over the winter. Looks like a coating to an inch overnight that’ll burn off rather quickly tomorrow. Pretty typical early April weather.

    You can add April 13-16 2018 - Minneapolis and central Minnesota 15-20” of snow, capping off the snowiest April on record with over 26” of snow.

    Overnight flurries/snow showers keeping it looking wintry around here.

    Sleet/freezing rain/snow. It’s a mixed bag out here this morning. Ground is white with sleet. Trees are coated in ice. Springtime in Minnesota.

    Overnight low of 37. Lots of ponding water on the frozen ground. Airport is reporting 1” snow depth, so the streak lives another day. Backyard glacier is quickly becoming more dog turd then snow.

    3/15 is the first day above 50 this year in Minneapolis with a high of 52. Snow was melting off like crazy, lots of grassy spots showing up.
  14. OrdIowPitMsp
    0.8” of snow this morning.
  15. OrdIowPitMsp
    Rain/Snow mix this morning turned to steady snow with big fat flakes. Accumulating rather quickly on the roads.

    Low of -2 this morning. Should be our last jaunt below zero this season. Outside the metro temps fell into the -10s, pretty cold for March 12th. 3” of crusty snow hanging on. While total snow amounts have been pedestrian here, It’s been a great winter for snow cover.
  17. OrdIowPitMsp
    Got down to 6 here this morning. Looks like a good chance of falling below zero in the city tomorrow and then the spring warmup begins.
  18. OrdIowPitMsp
    Morning low of 8.

    Pretty scary how close this was to a near worst case scenario event for Des Moines.
  20. OrdIowPitMsp
    Cold day by March 9th standards. High of 19, with a stiff NW breeze and full sun. The heat island will probably keep us above zero tonight but outlying areas will drop below.

    I’d start with a Magnolia but Palm isn’t far behind.

    Officially 3.3” overnight. I was measuring closer to 4”-4.5” imby, there’s a stoat ice/slush layer on the bottom which will no doubt compact. Official snow depth at the airport back to 6” With the condensed 2” crust glacier that survived the rain yesterday, and this new stuff on top, our snowpack now holds a ton of much needed moisture.
  24. OrdIowPitMsp
    Well this turned out better then expected. What looked like a snowpack eating storm ended up adding to it.

    THUNDERSLEET!
