    Was out in the suburbs and the ice accretion on trees was substantially more then in the city. HRRR wants to put a couple inches of snow down here overnight. We’ll see.

    Light drizzle this morning. The end is nigh for our snowpack locally I’m afraid. Rains and high dews later today should do most of it in but we’ll see what the yard looks like tomorrow after the backend duster. We’ve had snow otg for 70 consecutive days, it would have been 91 days if not for the 2 day melt just before Xmas. All good things must come to an end.

    Pretty amazing temperature contrast between Minneapolis and Des Moines this week. 20s and 30s here, mid 60s there, its a 3.5 hour drive between the cities. Looks like we might get some accumulating snow behind the low this weekend. Hopefully the rain/storms don’t wash away all of our glacier, I’d like the snow pack longevity streak to continue.

    RIP snowpack. Looks like a rainer this weekend will wash most of it away. Welcome to March.

    February 2022 in Minneapolis had a -6.1 temperature departure. 11 days went below zero. 0.78” of Precipitation, -0.09” below normal. 10.3” of snowfall for the month, 0.8” above normal. Overall a solid month of winter weather. I’m both a cold and snow weenie, so while we didn’t see extremes of either, solid snowpack and entrenched cold all month was very satisfying.

    Let’s just go ahead and lock in the 18z GFS for next weekend please. Going to be an interesting week watching things evolve but looks like a major storm will be impacting the upper Midwest.

    2.6” in Minneapolis. Exceeded my expectations. Been a good week

    Only dropped down to -3 here last night with the high clouds. Much colder outside the urban core.

    1.2” here as of 6pm. Pixie dust. Too bad because this could be a real quality event with better dendrites at 10F.

    Haven’t even been paying any attention to this event but with yesterdays snow in the rear view mirror I guess time to get excited about a stat and snowdepth padding 1-3”

    Awesome pics Bo. Maybe I should see if the Eagle Mine is hiring any geologists….

    I’ve got some friends going up to Mt. Bohemia this weekend. Very jealous of them, as conditions look unreal. Good luck with the snow clearing today. Ship some of it over this way. The lakes could use some moisture to fill back up this spring.

    Low of -6 with the fresh snow this morning. Late February sun sure does knock some of the sting off though.
  14. OrdIowPitMsp
    4.9” officially as of 6pm. Light snow showers will probably bring us to just over 5” when all is said and done. This is on just 0.19” of liquid precipitation for a nearly 26-1 ratio. There was over 3 hours today with visibility under 1 mile and about an hour with visibility at or below a quarter mile. Seasonal snowfall stands at 41.8” or about how much snow is on Bo’s roof.

    I’m going to guess around 4” downtown where I’m working this week. Still pounding down.
  16. OrdIowPitMsp
    Top shelf snow the past couple hours. Praise the Trowel
  17. OrdIowPitMsp
    Main bands of snow are just getting together but this has been a big nothing burger for the twin cities. NWS catching a lot of flak locally.
  18. OrdIowPitMsp
    Looks like a little under an inch so far. Hard to tell because it’s just blowing around. Forecast is now calling for 3-6”
  19. OrdIowPitMsp
    Glad to see you folks up north getting good snows outta this system. Going to be impressive depths by late week. The way things are trending 4-5” would be a win for us here.
  20. OrdIowPitMsp
    This is trending towards just a nuisance event. Hennepin and Ramsey counties can probably be downgraded to a WWA. At least the mood flakes are flying.
  21. OrdIowPitMsp
    Steel Grey overcast in downtown Minneapolis. Snow is gonna hold off until tonight now.
  22. OrdIowPitMsp
    0z 3km NAM only putting out 0.2-0.3” of liquid equivalent for the cities. Really need a juiced storm to make its way here to ease the lingering drought.
  23. OrdIowPitMsp
    Interestingly enough the two biggest storms of the season locally, (12/10 & now 2/21) have had northward shifts inside 24hrs. My 4-8 call is looking pretty solid for the metro, just north of here to Duluth will see double digit totals reign.
  24. OrdIowPitMsp
    With the north trend probably won’t see much more then an inch tomorrow, just thick overcast. Going to really need wave 2 on Tuesday to preform after the beating our snowpack is taking today.
  25. OrdIowPitMsp
    Temps peaked at 45 today. Warmest of the year. Winds have turned NW and sitting at 43. Lots of melting though.
