The models really had no idea on the evolution of this system. I wonder if it came down to multiple shortwaves rotating through instead of one solid deformation band of snow, which caused the 50% over modeling of precipitation. It’s ripping now but I’m guessing the final storm total will be between 10-12” at the airport if they can get an accurate measurement in this wind.
-
Hope nobody here is without power for long. I’d take 34 and rain all day over a crippling ice storm.
-
HRRR still putting down 0.60-0.70” of precipitation here before everything wraps up. That should translate to another 9” or so for a storm total of ~14-15” we’ll see how things shake out.
-
Storm total of 5.5” as of 6pm. That amounts to 1.4” from round 2. The NWS office was up to 6.5”
-
We had that last week, 0.87” of rain and never got warmer then 37. Just the worst.
-
Before and after the main show started earlier this afternoon. Wish I could have stayed on the slopes longer, but I don’t want to chance it with the roads going downhill.
-
Closing in on an inch imby from the main event. It’s coming down pretty good right now. What part of town are you in? I think 8-10” additional is probably what my side of town will see.

Good powder day at Welch Village ski area. Round 2 is on our doorstep.
-
Dropped the kid off at my in-laws. I’m going skiing, my local area was in that sweet spot last night and picked up close to 6”
-
Lol here too, a few blocks east of Lake Nokomis. Wasn’t expecting that, models still spitting out a solid foot here later today.
-
The 4.1” at the airport came from 0.33” liquid equivalent for a ratio of 12:1 which is lower then guidance. There’s a nice band still impacting Red Wing MN and areas just south of the metro.
-
4.1” at the airport as of 6am. Definitely the lower side of guidance but they were calling for 4-8” in this first wave, so not a bust. Really strong banding overnight in the south metro. Shame models are showing a substantial drying trend but we should have know those crazy totals from a couple days ago were unrealistic. I believe the record February snowfall at MSP is only in the 13-14” range so the monthly record is still very much in play.
-
Eyeballing around 4” here. Lower end of guidance, but still within guidance nonetheless. People will call this a bust because we hit the lower end instead of the upper end. (Same as it ever was) The southern suburbs are doing well. There’s been a band stalled out just south of the Minnesota River for a few hours and I expect numerous 6”+ reports down there. Of course the official obs site at the airport is a few miles north of that…
-
1.1” accumulation as of 6pm. Looks like another 2-4” overnight before the main show tomorrow.
-
I disagree, while it sucks seeing 12-15” instead of 18-22” I want us to crack the top 10 for longest continuous snowcover of 1” or more. #10 is 107 days and we are at 84 days today. Plus still have a shot at the all time seasonal snowfall record. If I was chasing futility maybe I’d have a different outlook.

Snow is underway at my office in west Bloomington.
-
Dry air always wins, I’ll be happy as long as we exceed 12”
-
Bring it!
-
4 degrees and sunny skies. You’d have no idea a big dog is on its way. This is how those old pioneer storm stories always start.
-
Looks like a slight drying trend on the overnight models, as they get into more detailed range. There was 2”knocked off my P&C.
-
I had the pleasure of being in midtown Manhattan during the January 2016 storm. 27.5” at Central Park, 30.5” JFK.
-
My P&C has been upped to 24.1” No words
-
FGEN band ends up way south like the GFS is showing and then somehow we get dry slotted or miss out on all the mesoscale features is the only way I see us not hitting totals well over 12”
-
Minneapolis officially received 1.7” of snow with the clipper this morning. Not sure if the NWS will include that in the official storm total.
-
Oh it’ll happen, I’m sure of it. There’s been some serious clunkers up here in the last 20 years.
