Should push 50 in Minneapolis today. Record high for the date is 55 from 1998, we have an outside chance of hitting it.
I was just a kid in Chicagoland on 12/14/1998 with no idea what I was in store for a little over two weeks later.
I was wondering if there is even enough ice to safety set up an ice-house yet? I saw a few people out on the lake near my house last evening. I wouldn’t trust the ice in the metro anytime soon.
Glad they aren’t succumbing to the cold. Did you have anything outside during the January 2019 cold snap? Wasn’t that the last deep cold in Milwaukee?
For me this time of year I’d define “palm tree weather” as days within 3 degrees of a record high.
This was a great storm. I was living in Iowa City and a student at the U at the time. Classic blizzard conditions and 12-14” of accumulation. We went sledding using cafeteria trays.
Wasn’t expecting anything but the light snow this evening has accumulated readily, with a solid dusting so far.
0.5” incoming, 2nd best event of the season.
Northern Lights were out in force last night. You could even see them in the city which is rare.
just a few patches of snow hanging around in the backyard. Going skiing today, thank you modern snowmaking.
Drove down to Charles City IA, as an expensive currier for my company today. Was surprised at the amount of snow otg in northern iowa compared to central/southern MN.
0.4” as of midnight, maybe a tenth more since then and another few tenths today. It’s been below freezing for several days here so the snow accumulated readily on every surface.
