  1. 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
  2. Arctic cold and Hawkeye football. That’s how I roll. Only got down to-9 imby last night with our putrid snow-cover.
  3. Minneapolis is up to 7.1” season to date on snowfall after this latest storm.
  4. -8F in Minneapolis. You can see where the deep snowpack makes a difference it’s -17F in Des Moines.
  5. Required reading during a cold snap. ”To Build a Fire” - Jack London https://americanenglish.state.gov/files/ae/resource_files/to-build-a-fire.pdf
  6. 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?
  7. Of course the one time the CAA is ahead of schedule it wipes out our snow chances.
  8. Wondering if I’ll even see an inch. Models had a very poor handle on how quickly the arctic air spilled southeast.
  9. Zebra Mussels are good for something I guess.
  10. Trends are not good for Minneapolis. Rug getting pulled again?
  11. Already down to 9F, one of our coldest temps of the season. Cold is arriving ahead of guidance.
  12. 6-8 imby and 10-12 for my ski hill. Lock it in.
  13. 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.
  14. Probably have AI writing for them at this point.
  15. NWS hedging their bet for the Twin Cities.
  16. 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.
  17. Woke up to a WSW for 3-5” followed by bitter cold. Have they lowered the standards for hoisting watches or is this just to get the message out to the public before a WWA is posted?
  18. You might get another serving from the squall passing through Des Moines currently.
  19. GFS keeping my hopes of buried grass alive.
