    Grew up in Chicagoland. Very familiar with its “frustrating for a snow weenie” climate. Glad the I-80 corridor is having a solid stretch. Edit: sorry for the thread hijack.

    No salty tears from me, backyard has been white all month and yeah last year was quite epic to say the least. I just like to bitch.

    Flurries here. Clipper is sliding south. Story of this winter for central Minnesota.

    Yesterdays high of 13 was the warmest since the 12th. Got down to 1F last night. Full sun today feels great but still will only make it to around 10-12. 10 days ago there was pockets of open water on the lake. Now the ice is 9-12” thick.

    The cold is a real economic lifesaver up here. The lakes are finally freezing up at record late dates, and allowing for winter activities to progress. This upcoming weekend is the U.S. National Pond Hockey championships on Lake Nokomis a few blocks from my house. As recently as last week there were questions on whether or not there would be enough ice. With these temps the lake is making about an inch of ice a day and the tournament will proceed as scheduled. https://www.uspondhockey.com

    Arctic cold and Hawkeye football. That’s how I roll. Only got down to-9 imby last night with our putrid snow-cover.

    Cold weather sicko checking in.

    Minneapolis is up to 7.1” season to date on snowfall after this latest storm.

    -8F in Minneapolis. You can see where the deep snowpack makes a difference it’s -17F in Des Moines.

    Minneapolis finished with 0.8”

    Why the NWS is still calling for 2-3” in the twin cities metro is a mystery to me. I doubt we see 1” and I’m on the east side where totals should be higher. Hopefully I wake up surprised. Is it policy to stair step down totals instead of just slashing to 0-1” when it becomes apparent?

    Shredded dendrites falling imby.

    Of course the one time the CAA is ahead of schedule it wipes out our snow chances.
  15. OrdIowPitMsp
    Wondering if I’ll even see an inch. Models had a very poor handle on how quickly the arctic air spilled southeast.

    Zebra Mussels are good for something I guess.

    Cold is running well ahead of schedule
  18. OrdIowPitMsp
    Trends are not good for Minneapolis. Rug getting pulled again?
  19. OrdIowPitMsp
    7 degrees. Waiting on flakes.
  20. OrdIowPitMsp
    Already down to 9F, one of our coldest temps of the season. Cold is arriving ahead of guidance.
  21. OrdIowPitMsp
    6-8 imby and 10-12 for my ski hill. Lock it in.

    GFS is throwing warning criteria snows into the twin cities. Not sure what to expect atm. One thing is for certain we have all the cold air needed. Even with full sun only got to 16 here today.
  23. OrdIowPitMsp
    Probably have AI writing for them at this point.
  24. OrdIowPitMsp
    NWS hedging their bet for the Twin Cities.
  25. OrdIowPitMsp
    Recent model trends are showing plowable snow for the twin cities. Starting to get cautiously optimistic we’ll have a few inches by Saturday afternoon.
