2/7-2/8 is looking like a good hit for MSP. GFS and Euro both in agreement with 0.50”+ of precipitation and SLRs of 15:1-20:1. I’d start a thread but it would be an echo chamber of me. Time to get the powder skis waxed.
MPX was very bullish on the weekend potential. Wednesday doesn’t look that impressive here though, my location is too far south, north and west of most of the precipitation.
Picked up about an inch at my house. Half that much at my office 10 miles south.
Driving up to Little Falls MN this morning for a job, it’s halfway between St. Cloud and Brainerd so I’m expecting at least 2-3” there.
Hennepin and Ramsey counties were added to a WWA for 2-4” tonight. I’m only expecting ~1” imby but we’ll see. The gradient from less then an inch to 4” is going to be very narrow.
February could pass our January snowfall total by tomorrow night. I’ll take a February 2019 repeat please. That month featured 39” of snow here. NWS wants to play ball in the morning AFD.
All these
events should slowly chip away at the seasonal snow deficit but we
have a lot of ground to make up... We`ll have to do our best
February 2019 impression to make it happen.
Near miss north today. Might lay down up to a half inch but I’m not holding my breath. More intrigued by tomorrow evening, there is a signal for a thermal gradient snow event to setup. These tend to over preform. Hopefully it’s not another near miss north.
Globals teased MSP being on the south end of accumulating snow tomorrow afternoon.
Hi-res coming into view says best we can do is FZDZ as everything comes together further east in Wisconsin.
Not trying to polish a turd or anything but at least we haven’t been wasting precipitation on rain. It’s just been very dry across the region this year. Outside of this week and the week after Christmas temperatures have been seasonable this winter as well.
46 currently. Record is 47, top shelf late January day for Minnesota.
With not much snow on the ground I’ll take these warm days if it’s going to be dry.
Yikes the Euro is selling rain here next weekend. GFS shows a decent snow storm fwiw. Normally I’d be hating on early February rain but I’m just thankful we have something to track.
