    -8F is all we could muster at the airport. Looking at the suburbs and outer areas they got down to -15 to -20
  2. OrdIowPitMsp
    Morning low of -8F in Minneapolis.
  3. OrdIowPitMsp
    -6F for the low this morning, coldest low since -12 on December 23rd.

    Impressive the difference across the region. I’ll go with a solid A- so far this winter. 60+ days and counting consecutive of snow cover. 15” storm right after New Years. Already surpassed our seasonal average. If we can keep the snow pack to mid March and tack on average snow from here on out this is a slam dunk A grade winter.

    After todays snowfall Minneapolis is up to 55.5” on the season. Extended looks cold and dry, but sometimes on the backside of these arctic highs we see WAA snow. Will be a zzzzz period for sure over the next week. No extreme cold just a typical annual Minnesota cold snap.

    You work for the Merc? My father was a commodity trader at the CBoT from 83’-15’

    Cold front just blasted through. We surged above freezing to 34F from 7:10-8:00 and now the bottom is dropping out. 28 degrees and a stiff NW wind steady at 23 and gusting to 40mph.

    2.2” at the airport. Overachiever here.

    Woke up pleasantly surprised by this quick hitting WAA wave, visibilities around a mile and well over an inch of new accumulation. Temps have really warmed up overnight, it was 12 when I went to bed and 29 now. We might clip freezing before the bottom drops out this afternoon.

    Temperatures dropped off the ledge when the cloud cover moved off and Minneapolis recorded a low of 1 this morning.

    Drove down in Rochester MN for work. Backend of the snow showers are exiting the area. FYI for Chicago peeps, atmosphere is producing snow out of very little cloud cover.

    0.7” here yesterday, maybe the same tonight.

    I actually feel during snow events they should measure every hour to get a better sense of how much fell before compaction/melting takes too much effect. If it doesn’t rain for the first 30 days of July but 4” falls on the 31st should that not be counted because then it wont show how dry the month was?

    Have had a couple hours of decent rates and better dendrites here. Guessing 1/4”-1/2” an hour. I know it’s not really the same system the rest of the sub-forum is experiencing but I’d hate to feel left out.

    Pixie dust here all morning. Probably still under or around a half inch, looks to have on/off snow here through Friday.
  16. OrdIowPitMsp
    Mood dust here this morning. We’ll see what we end up with.
  17. OrdIowPitMsp
    This.

    I’ll be ready for spring the first week of May when skiing in Minnesota is over the season.

    This shows precipitation totals since November 30th ranked all time. Pretty cool representation of where the firehose has been pointed, and why it’s been the 4th snowiest start to winter on record here.

    Go riverboat gambler style with a 60” / 10” challenge.
  21. OrdIowPitMsp
    This is a forecaster with the NWS office here. With a handful of 6”+ systems already this year, I won’t mind a week of mood flakes + at all.
  22. OrdIowPitMsp
    We’ve had a few dusting with persistent occasional flurries the past few days but nothing official at the airport.

    Been awhile since I’ve checked the ol’ Wrigleyville Earthcam https://www.earthcam.com/usa/illinois/chicago/wrigleyville/?cam=wrigleyville

    Looks like some decent banding over the loop right now, shame it’s transitory.
  25. OrdIowPitMsp
    3.5” today, which is the 6th largest calendar day snowfall of the season in Minneapolis, and brings the season total to 52.5”. Occasional snow showers rotating through this evening might deposit another tenth or two. Edit: Only 0.16” of liquid equivalent today.
