  1. Feeling confident of another 4”+ this upcoming week to start the new year. Ganoderma Zonatum weather if you look at the extended.
  2. I’ve been quietly watching the system coming up early next week. The metro has been riding the line between cold rain (GFS) and warning criteria snows (Euro) MSP pulled the trigger on a WSW today for 3-7”. Personally I think there’s a big divide per usual between northern and southern ends of the metro with 3” south and 6-8”+ north. Been fun to track but wish there was more potential across the subforum to aid the discussion.
  3. Pretty remarkable difference up here from a majority of the subforum. Reached a high of 37 yesterday, stuck in the 20s today. Snow depth hanging around 8” and we picked up 0.4” of snow overnight.
  4. MSP has been below zero since 9:08PM on 12/21 and that was just a few hour stretch of 0-1 degrees otherwise it’s 12/20 5:53PM when we dropped below zero. Impressive for this early in the year to have 48+ hours below zero.
  5. Winds finally are starting to get going in the city. Visibility dropping and drifting beginning.
  6. Interstate 90 was closed between Albert Lea MN and Rapid City SD last night. That’s over 500 miles of interstate! Wind and drifting was a nonfactor in the city. Temperature stayed steady around -11/-12 all night.
  7. Dreaded midnight high of -4F at MSP. Daytime high of -6F, currently at -11F
  8. Starting to blow and drift pretty good here. The stuff coming off the trees is falling like new snow. -8F gusting to 33mph
  9. Driving south on US-52 to ski at Welch Village. Not much wind or drifting yet in rural areas.
  10. Going to try and embrace the cold today. We’ve dropped to -11F
  11. Final storm total of 8.1” brings MSP up to 31.4” on the season. 0.46” liquid equivalent which was 0.10” more then modeled fwiw.
  12. I’m going to attempt to go skiing today before the winds kick in. Gotta get that powder! There should be a nice window of calm today before things start rocking.
  13. My expectations have been exceeded again. Snow ended around 3am. Current temp of -6F. Full throttle winter.
  14. Have had a nice extended period of moderate snow with visibilities at or below a mile. Closing in on 5”
  15. Sigh…WAA always wins. We’ve risen to 1F with steady light snow.
  16. I think it was @Stebowho joked last winter that the models are digesting too much data these days and even a “bird fart” is changing the outcome.
  17. Up to 24.5” on the season. The last several years we’ve started hot. -4 and the snow just started here.
  18. -8F and clouding over. 4-7” in the grid today. Let’s see what happens.
  19. I don’t think I’ve ever been under a Winter Storm Warning while also having a Winter Storm Watch following on it’s heels but here we are.
