    Snow began about 20min ago and started accumulating almost immediately.

    WWA hoisted for Hennepin County. 2-4” this afternoon/evening. Although we’ll be riding the southern edge of guidance. Nowcasting time.

    Wow you guys ended up with a ton more rain then forecast. Really needed it too.
  4. OrdIowPitMsp
    Donut hole of no accumulations around the cities. The NWS office in Chanhassen did record 0.2”
  5. OrdIowPitMsp
    6 hours of steady light snow amounted to zero accumulations here. 1-2” west of the metro.
  6. OrdIowPitMsp
    Light snow for the past hour or so here. Not accumulating but solid mood flakes.
  7. OrdIowPitMsp
    0.67” of much needed rain at MSP. Looks like the frozen white stuff will be coming down tomorrow and Saturday.

    This has the looks of a mostly miss south for the Twin Cities. Although between wrap around moisture from tomorrow’s storm and this event, we might have white on the ground by Sunday.

    Experienced the early season Superior snow shadow firsthand in 2018. 4” of wet slop in Grand Marais. 18” a few miles up the Gunflint trail. Models should start honing in on a solution over the next day or two.

    Looks like a faster more progressive system on today’s runs. Should still usher in flakes and colder air on the backside. Maybe northern Minnesota will start laying down a snowpack late week.

    I’ll have whatever the GFS is serving.
  12. OrdIowPitMsp
    This is an absurdly inaccurate take.

    This cool down certainly was more pronounced down in Iowa. Our lows have underachieved this week. Haven’t dipped below 30. Still no hard freeze yet in the city proper.

    Overcast is spitting a few flurries on us this afternoon.

    Today marks the 30th anniversary of the standard bearer against which all other winter storms in Minnesota are compared against. The 1991 Halloween Blizzard produced 28.4” of snow in Minneapolis and over 36” in Duluth. I’m sure @Brian Dhas some good memories of this one. https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/climate/journal/9110_31_Halloween_Blizzard.html

    Big rains for Iowa. Hopefully the Wednesday system spreads some of that up this way. Drought has been tightening its grip since early September.
  17. OrdIowPitMsp
    Corcoran in western Hennepin County got down to 24. Coldest spot in the metro this morning.
  18. OrdIowPitMsp
    First official freeze in Minneapolis with a low of 30. Couple weeks late this year. Mid/upper 20s outside the urban core.
  19. OrdIowPitMsp
    0.30” of rain today. Easily our biggest total since before Labor Day.
  20. OrdIowPitMsp
    Frosty again this morning. Airport only dropped to 38 but numerous PWS in the neighborhood read 34-35.
  21. OrdIowPitMsp
    37 in the heart of the heat island. Even a few patches of frost. Widespread 30-34 outside the city.
  22. OrdIowPitMsp
    Coldest spot near the Twin Cities was Carlos Avery Wildlife refuge which is about 40 miles north of downtown. Got down to 34 degrees. I’m up in the Chisago Lakes area for work today which is near that refuge and there was patchy frost in some low lying areas.
  23. OrdIowPitMsp
    That’s the best. We just turned our furnace on for the first time this season a few moments ago. 44 outside.
  24. OrdIowPitMsp
    Stuck in the upper 40s with a stiff breeze this morning. Fall has arrived.
  25. OrdIowPitMsp
    Late last week it looked like a solid 1-2” soaker today. By Monday it appeared more like 0.50”. The NWS graphic for today had us at 0.1-0.25”. Storm total of 0.02” when the trend has been dry all year ride it I guess.
