    On and off flurries and snow showers most of the afternoon/evening. Localized dusting. Top 2 winter event.

    Snow depth peaked at 38” As a weather geek I’d love to see it, as a home owner I’d be worried about my roof.

    21.1” in November 1985 Most impressive to me is that #3 and #4 on the list 20” and 17.4” respectively, occurred two days apart in 1982 and led to the deepest snow depth recorded locally. https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/climate/journal/top_twenty_snowfalls.html

    The MSP record is 28” in the Halloween Blizzard. I’m not confident that will ever get broken, but I suppose with increased precipitation a run at 30” is possible.
  5. OrdIowPitMsp
    Storm total of 1.2” grid forecast was on the money.
  6. OrdIowPitMsp
    0.6” at the airport at 6pm. Warm ground is definitely impacting accumulation. Pavement is just starting to freeze up.
  7. OrdIowPitMsp
    Snow began about 20min ago and started accumulating almost immediately.

    WWA hoisted for Hennepin County. 2-4” this afternoon/evening. Although we’ll be riding the southern edge of guidance. Nowcasting time.

    Wow you guys ended up with a ton more rain then forecast. Really needed it too.
  10. OrdIowPitMsp
    Donut hole of no accumulations around the cities. The NWS office in Chanhassen did record 0.2”
  11. OrdIowPitMsp
    6 hours of steady light snow amounted to zero accumulations here. 1-2” west of the metro.
  12. OrdIowPitMsp
    Light snow for the past hour or so here. Not accumulating but solid mood flakes.
  13. OrdIowPitMsp
    0.67” of much needed rain at MSP. Looks like the frozen white stuff will be coming down tomorrow and Saturday.
  14. OrdIowPitMsp
    This has the looks of a mostly miss south for the Twin Cities. Although between wrap around moisture from tomorrow’s storm and this event, we might have white on the ground by Sunday.

    Experienced the early season Superior snow shadow firsthand in 2018. 4” of wet slop in Grand Marais. 18” a few miles up the Gunflint trail. Models should start honing in on a solution over the next day or two.
  16. OrdIowPitMsp
    Looks like a faster more progressive system on today’s runs. Should still usher in flakes and colder air on the backside. Maybe northern Minnesota will start laying down a snowpack late week.
  17. OrdIowPitMsp
    I’ll have whatever the GFS is serving.
  18. OrdIowPitMsp
    This is an absurdly inaccurate take.
  19. OrdIowPitMsp
    This cool down certainly was more pronounced down in Iowa. Our lows have underachieved this week. Haven’t dipped below 30. Still no hard freeze yet in the city proper.
  20. OrdIowPitMsp
    Overcast is spitting a few flurries on us this afternoon.

    Today marks the 30th anniversary of the standard bearer against which all other winter storms in Minnesota are compared against. The 1991 Halloween Blizzard produced 28.4” of snow in Minneapolis and over 36” in Duluth. I’m sure @Brian Dhas some good memories of this one. https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/climate/journal/9110_31_Halloween_Blizzard.html

    Big rains for Iowa. Hopefully the Wednesday system spreads some of that up this way. Drought has been tightening its grip since early September.
  23. OrdIowPitMsp
    Corcoran in western Hennepin County got down to 24. Coldest spot in the metro this morning.
  24. OrdIowPitMsp
    First official freeze in Minneapolis with a low of 30. Couple weeks late this year. Mid/upper 20s outside the urban core.
  25. OrdIowPitMsp
    0.30” of rain today. Easily our biggest total since before Labor Day.
