Darn if only this squall had gotten it’s act together earlier. Only had a 20min period of snow locally. Already down in the single digits with howling winds.
-
Just had a wind gust of 60mph at the airport. Numerous gusts of 50+
-
Snow squall development occurred to our west and we were placed under a WWA, it’s currently puking big fat flakes. Too bad it’ll be short lived because this is SN+
-
Missed the main band of snow scooting just north of town with the cold front. Models have latched onto the idea of snow squalls/squall line of snow developing late morning/early afternoon just south of us. Might get a brief period of snow but looks like we’ll be in the screw zone. At least early next week looks promising.

Low of -2 in Minneapolis this morning. Much colder outside the urban core.
-
Made it up to 31 today. Felt great outside with filtered sunshine. Snow depth down to 5” as the mid February Sun is beginning to do its thing.
-
Minneapolis has logged 22 days with a low below zero this season. The average is 23 according to the NWS and 25 according to meteorologist Paul Douglas who is the Tom Skilling of this region. With the potential for a couple more days later this week it looks like we’ll end up right around average this year.
-
6am update shows 1.8” of new snowfall from the clipper bringing our seasonal total up to 36.8” at Minneapolis.
-
1.2” of super bowl fluff last night. Temps held steady in the single digits overnight.
-
Low of -6 this morning.
-
0.4” of overnight fluff. NWS mentioned a slight chance of snow but didn’t anticipate any accumulation. Current air temp of -4
-
-8 for the overnight low. Couple more cold days ahead. Dense crusty 4” snowpack remains. We could really use something to freshen things up. It’s a block of ice.
-
Awesome Bo! Rollercoaster 24hrs here. 0.6” of snow yesterday evening then temperatures shot up from 27 to 39 in 2 hours. Bit of drizzle overnight and a morning temp of 36 which quickly fell into the low 20s under snow which was heavy at times but mostly mood flakes for the first half of the day. 9 degrees with winds gusting to 28mph right now.

LOL at people eager for spring in early February. Give me a redux of 2018 when there was a 16” blizzard on April 17th and the lakes around here didn’t lose their ice until the beginning of May.
-
After a few beautiful days in the mid 30s it’s back to reality today. Sunny and 15, Clipper type system tonight will be a bigger deal NE of the cities but we should still manage an inch or so to freshen things up.
-
-2 this morning. Last cold one for awhile.
-
Another 0.25-0.50” duster overnight and this morning in Minneapolis. Afternoons highs in the mid 30s next week will eat away at the snowpack and give it that grungy look by next weekend.
-
We stayed “warm” overnight only dropping to -2. Currently 0F and light snow this morning. Solid dusting so far.
-
Low of -9 this morning. Couple more cold days to go.
-
Baroclinic zone sets up south of us delivering the goods to you guys while we are under arctic high pressure. It means solid snowcover for most/all of DJF so I’ll take it.
-
Bright, sunny and 5 above zero this afternoon here. Going on 10+ days without snowfall and have 7” otg. Only 3 days since 12/9 without snowcover. Life is good in the Tundra. We’ll get ours in March/April while the rest of the sub is storm chasing or getting tan.
-
Looks like a nice slug of heavier returns moving into the city now.
-
30 when I left the house at 6am. 14 as I’m leaving work to go back home.
-
Little bit of blowing snow now too. What a storm!
-
Torched above freezing from 1-3am with a peak of 36. Crashing through the 20s now with a few stray flurries. This is our moment for this storm.
