What an evening it has been, especially here on the southern half of the metro. Sitting at around 9.5” imby so we should break double digits. Much more impressive there are many reports of 15”+ in the southern suburbs where the heaviest banding from earlier this evening stalled.
-
Stacking flake quickly in Minneapolis. Visibility under a mile in moderate snow. Airport cancellations ramping up.
-
Aren’t you in Mankato? I thought they did well with one of the February 2019 storms. Either way it’s looking good for both our areas.
-
First winter storm warning of the season imby. Going to be sweating the gradient tomorrow, would like to be 30-40 miles south but given the pattern we are in I’ll take it!
-
Hi-res models coming into focus and slowing inching north. First winter storm watch of the season posted. Looks like Minneapolis might win the thread the needle pattern award.
-
3” of snow otg, clear skies and 5 degrees. Finally feels like winter.
-
I think MSP will be on the far northern fringe of things so I’m trying not to get to excited. My local ski hill is 40 miles southeast so I’m getting pretty optimistic about powder skiing this weekend.
-
Todays wave came with more of a punch then expected. Very fluffy high ratio snow. 2-4” reports across the southern portion of the metro. The airport reported 1” as of noon. My guess is ~1/2” or so is added to the final total.
-
Low of 3 overnight. Temp has risen to 8 with light snow. Should see a coating maybe a quarter inch of new snow this morning while areas further south push towards 0.5-1”
-
Temps have held steady at 9 degrees all day with a stiff wind leading to wind chills around -10. We actually bottomed out at 7F this morning for the low.
-
9 degrees this morning. Coldest temp of the season. Airport is reporting 2” snow depth at 6am. I think that is a bit generous but there is definitely solid snow cover for the first time this winter.
-
1.1” officially at the airport. Might tack on another tenth or two this morning. Too bad it’ll be gone this afternoon before the cold blast comes through.
-
28 degrees and the Lt. Snow is readily accumulating. 2nd accumulating event of the season.
-
We’ve been under the F-Gen band for awhile this evening but snow finally beat the dry air and started reaching the ground. Hi-res models have been developing this band further and further south before it pushes north.
-
@Brian Dfurther up the shore from you could see 12-18” with lake enhancement and orographic effect.
-
Surprise accumulation in the northeast suburbs this morning.
-
November 2021 finished with 1.2” of snow and 2.2F above average at MSP.
-
It’s been very dry here since since last spring with the exception of August, and the next 7-10 days doesn’t hold much hope for precipitation.
-
Temps dropping throughout the day under full sun. Long range models still showing minimal to no precipitation here over the next 1-2 weeks.
-
Not really anything to track around my neck of the woods for the next 1-2 weeks. Just going to watch the lakes freeze and the drought expand.
-
Coldest morning of the season at msp. 19F
-
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.
