-3F at 7am. Only the 3rd below zero low of the season at MSP. (We average 11 in January alone)
P&C has lowered my high to a balmy -1F for today.
To make the top 10 longest below zero streak only 4 more days to go. 130 consecutive hours below zero is the tenth spot.

What’s falling imby and radar trends definitely more impressive then what the HRRR and NAM have been showing. Still thinking 2” here but we’ll see if it’s rip city when I wake up.
NAM develops a weenie band right over the metro and drops 3-4” before continuing to strengthen to the east.
Euro says sorry Minneapolis but this thing doesn’t get it’s act together until it’s east of you. Enjoy the dust on crust.
I’m riding the Euro
Had some nice drifting on roads outside the metro this morning from the stiff SE wind. Spitting occasional ice pellets here. Locked and loaded for my 1”
Warm tongue has me slightly worried and lack of moisture depth could mean a long period of FRDZ instead of light snow. 1-3” refresher could easily end up being a glacier creating glaze event up here.
