  1. Been snow squalling all day. Dusting on dustings.
  2. Sorry for your loss Brian. 28 with a wind blown dusting of snow here this morning.
  3. Confirmed EF-2 tornado in Taopi MN last night. Destroyed much of that tiny town. https://m.startribune.com/storms-inflict-heavy-damage-on-taopi-in-mower-county/600164599/
  4. Radar is blossoming to my SW, first severe thunderstorm watch of the season.
  5. We had beautiful weekend weather here with highs in the upper 50s low 60s region wide. Lake Nokomis is officially ice free as of April 10th. Average is April 4th so a little later this year.
  6. Another 0.7” overnight here. Fourth morning this week there’s been overnight snow that mostly burns off by around noon. MSP is now over 50” for the season.
  7. All day snow showers today in the Twin Cities. We’ll get a coating on the grass then it will melt as rates lighten up, snow will pick back up and we’ll be covered again. Lots of drought finishing precipitation lately.
  8. Another morning with “white rain” and slushy accumulations on the grass.
  9. All night rain has turned to slushy snow imby.
  10. All day rain here with more in store overnight, then mixing with flakes tomorrow. Looks like a spring heart attack storm for the north shore. NWS suggesting up to 18” of heavy wet snow possible in the higher terrain. My April 23-25 ski trip in Lutsen is looking good!
  11. 1” overnight at the airport. Looking at my backyard cam, appears a lot has melted off overnight.
  12. Late season snow stats courtesy of the NWS. April 1893 must have been wild in St. Cloud.
  13. Snow/rain showers this afternoon, I was in the yard cleaning things up and was surprised to find ice and frost beneath areas that had thick leaf cover over the winter. Looks like a coating to an inch overnight that’ll burn off rather quickly tomorrow. Pretty typical early April weather.
  14. https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/climate/journal/thunder-blizzard-april-13-16-2018.html full write up from the DNR
  15. You can add April 13-16 2018 - Minneapolis and central Minnesota 15-20” of snow, capping off the snowiest April on record with over 26” of snow.
  16. Overnight flurries/snow showers keeping it looking wintry around here.
  17. Sleet/freezing rain/snow. It’s a mixed bag out here this morning. Ground is white with sleet. Trees are coated in ice. Springtime in Minnesota.
  18. Overnight low of 37. Lots of ponding water on the frozen ground. Airport is reporting 1” snow depth, so the streak lives another day. Backyard glacier is quickly becoming more dog turd then snow.
  19. 3/15 is the first day above 50 this year in Minneapolis with a high of 52. Snow was melting off like crazy, lots of grassy spots showing up.
  20. Rain/Snow mix this morning turned to steady snow with big fat flakes. Accumulating rather quickly on the roads.
  21. Low of -2 this morning. Should be our last jaunt below zero this season. Outside the metro temps fell into the -10s, pretty cold for March 12th. 3” of crusty snow hanging on. While total snow amounts have been pedestrian here, It’s been a great winter for snow cover.
  22. Got down to 6 here this morning. Looks like a good chance of falling below zero in the city tomorrow and then the spring warmup begins.
  23. Pretty scary how close this was to a near worst case scenario event for Des Moines.
