    NWS service agrees. Winter Storm Watch for 4-7” of snow tomorrow afternoon. If this verifies Minneapolis will be having one heck of a hot streak this autumn.

    Cold front has blasted its way through. Temps have dropped ~15 degrees in the past hour and change. Hi-Res models are beginning to come into focus on tomorrow’s snow and the totals are becoming more robust. Might end up more like a 2-4” event around here or somewhere close by.
  3. OrdIowPitMsp
    Might luck out 1-2” of snow tomorrow. My gut says the narrow band will setup better to the southeast but we shall see.

    Just took the dog out and dews are in the mid 50s. It felt a little muggy outside.

    While Minneapolis didn’t break the November monthly record high, we did set a daily record high of 75 today.
  6. OrdIowPitMsp
    Also worth mentioning that the all time November record high temp in Minneapolis is 77. Very likely could see the monthly record fall today.
  7. OrdIowPitMsp
    Forecast high of 77 today. The record on this date is 73 set way back in the Stone Age of 2016.

    Yesterday’s high of 74 at MSP tied the record from 1975. 26 degrees above average
  9. OrdIowPitMsp
    High of 75 at MSP today breaks the record of 74 from 1978. Two weeks ago we saw 7.9” of snow.

    Dropped to 27 and now temps slowly rising this evening. Warm week on tap which will be great for someone like me who works outside. Return to winter next weekend perhaps?

    The last of the 10/20 snowstorm melted off my deck today. Just piles imby. Shaded north facing spots in the metro still have snowcover but melting quickly. Remarkable we went 10+ days of snowcover in spots in October.

    I always felt growing up in Chicagoland we got shafted being on the eastern edge of a time zone because in the summer we’d have these early sunrises and “relatively” early sunsets. Works out better being further west in Iowa or Minnesota.

    Some records from over the weekend

    Backyard sensor is reading 14F this morning. By far the coldest air of the season
  15. OrdIowPitMsp
    Mood flakes most of the day totaled 0.4” bringing our monthly total up to 9.1” High temp today of 29. Feels and looks like mid winter.

    Will be skiing soon enough. Today is our 4th day in a row with snow otg which has to put us in the top spot or two for October. I’ve lived in Minneapolis for a little less then five years and have already experienced the snowiest February, April and now October on record.

    Steady light snow this morning, even pockets of moderate showing up. Refreshing our October snowpack.
  18. OrdIowPitMsp
    Central and northern Minnesota will see single digit lows. Might have to start looking at record ice-in dates on some of the lakes.
  19. OrdIowPitMsp
    Nice wintry mix this morning. Big snows up north. Deep cold (for October standards) coming this weekend. Single digit lows outside the metro area

    Seems like a south trend in the models is developing this year. Yesterday’s storm was only supposed to put down 0-2” changing over to rain in Rochester but they stayed all snow and ended with more then 3”. Tomorrow’s event has also been bumping south. No weakening however
  21. OrdIowPitMsp
    If we can get a trough centered over the Great Plains then a big dog western lakes cutter should do the trick. Just gotta wait and see what Mother Nature throws at us. The northland is off to a very fast start with their 3rd significant storm bearing down tomorrow.
  22. OrdIowPitMsp
    MSP finished with 7.9” at the midnight observation from yesterday’s event. 2nd heaviest October snowfall behind the infamous halloween blizzard of 91’
  23. OrdIowPitMsp
    It still looks like we are south of the action according to the latest NWS thinking. 33F all night. Took the dog out at 5am and felt like it was raining with the amount of slush and snow dripping off the trees. Slopfest 2020
  24. OrdIowPitMsp
    Just got home after a nightmare drive back from Rochester on US-52. Multiple spin outs. Between compaction and melting I don’t think we will see this stay around for long. Lots of dripping off the garage. Thank goodness most trees are bare or this could have caused widespread tree damage.

    Watch this be our biggest event of the year.
