    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.

    Low of 3 here. 51 degree drop in about 18 hours.
  3. OrdIowPitMsp
    Wind whipped snow flying here.
  4. OrdIowPitMsp
    Down to 30 here now. Snow should be starting in the next hour or two.
  5. OrdIowPitMsp
    Surged up to 53 and crashed down to 39 barely an hour later and dropping. Went from working in a t shirt to wind chills rather quickly. cool stuff

    Temps are over preforming again today. Full sun and already 50F here. Just stat padding the record # of 50+ temps this winter. Payback from last winter.

    Looks like we officially made it to 64 in Minneapolis
  8. OrdIowPitMsp
    We hit 64 at one of the 5min obs, before some high clouds moved in. We’ll see this evening if it’s the official high. Warmest winter on record in the bag.

    The record warmth this winter is one thing, it happens every 150 years or so around these parts. The zzzzzz pattern we’ve been in since Christmas with nothing to track is wearing on me though.

    34 and a snow shower moving through. Deck and remaining snow is dusted.

    If one image could tell the whole story…

    Very dry on the long range in MN. This is going to be an early and odd spring.
  13. OrdIowPitMsp
    Snow depth down to 2” at 6am. It will likely be a T at tomorrows observation with the forecast high of 44 today.
  14. OrdIowPitMsp
    Recorded a high of 14 yesterday, below guidance for a change. Overnight we’ve fallen to 8 so far, which is one of the colder low temps in this “winter”
  15. OrdIowPitMsp
    Is this cumulative days of 1” depth in a season or consecutive streak? If it’s the former I’m surprised it’s not over 100.

    Low of 10 overnight. One more day of deep winter until we thaw again. Very well could be our coldest morning for the rest of winter looking at the extended.

    Measured 5.8” this morning on the deck. Surprised at how light and powdery this is, even at the bottom. Very easy to shovel.

    MSP official storm total of 6.9” on 0.41” of precipitation. This sets a new snowfall record for Valentine’s Day in Minneapolis. Snowfall futility is now off the table as our season total jumps up to 14.2” which is the record low from winter 1930/31. The wet nature of the snow at onset will make for some great scenes when the sun rises.

    Snow will be winding down over the next hour. Walked the dog half an hour ago and there was ~5” otg. This is one of the better sneak attacks I can remember, thanks for the v-day gift Mother Nature.

    It’s like a firehose blasting the metro right now.
  22. OrdIowPitMsp
    Rippin’ fatties right now. This is our moment Minneapolis.
  23. OrdIowPitMsp
    Over-performer underway, especially in the northern suburban counties which were upgraded to a WSW. Persistent heavy snow dropped 4”+ north of town by 7pm. Eyeballing close to 2” imby, hopefully will tack on a couple more inches. My grass is completely covered for the first time since Halloween.

    I had job offers in Chicago and Minneapolis. Cost of living is cheaper here, but the winters and accessibility to the outdoors is what drew me in.

    Ground is white. Didn’t take as long to start sticking as I thought it would.
