  1. There’s someone who was here this morning who swears by private forecasters but looks like he got banned.
  2. Perhaps the problem is the NWS isn’t funded enough and we should increase funding for scientific research. Ever think of that one?
  3. Officially got down to -18 at the airport and -20 at the nws office. much more impressive is the cold up north. -50 outside of Ely is a new state record for 2/13 and how about Duluth going down to -35
  4. Required reading on cold nights like tonight. -11 at 11pm. https://americanenglish.state.gov/files/ae/resource_files/to-build-a-fire.pdf
  5. No kidding. With the prolonged stretch of sub 10 degree weather we’ve had anything over 20 will feel balmy.
  6. Another day with a high below zero at -2. Now at over 50 hours below zero and looks like we might add another couple days to the streak.
  7. Today’s high was -4, and there’s a chance we don’t see zero again until Monday.
  8. It’s -4 and we’ve been churning out the tiniest little sugar flakes for over 5 hours now. Isn’t accumulating very well, we may have finally broken the 0.1” mark.
  9. ^ Deep cold up north. We managed a single 5min ob of 1 at the airport, otherwise peaked at 0 before the snow moved in and we dropped below again.
  10. -10 currently with a high of 0 today. We failed to break single digits the last two days so our streak below 10 degrees goes on. We were last in the double digits the morning of February 5th.
  11. I don’t even need to see the northern plains section of this map to know it’ll be damn close to a shutout here with everything suppressed south. Oh well, might as well freeze Lake Superior over.
  12. ^ Tree wells are no joke. Been caught in small-ish waist deep ones before.
  13. Overnight low of -6 before the clouds and light snow moved in. Another morning with 0.1-0.2” of accumulation.
  14. Sat at 0 for 4 hours this afternoon with a couple 5min obs of 1, have since fallen back to -1 at 5pm.
  15. Low of -11 this morning. Sunny skies today will probably bring us up to 0 or 2 above
  16. Wound up with .2-.3” of new snow on just a trace of precip. NWS only mentioned a slight chance of flurries in the aviation discussion. Impressive what moisture can be squeezed out of this airmass.
  17. NWS adjusted this mornings low to -17 and this afternoons high made it to -2.
  18. -4 and snowing. I’ve only seen it snow this cold a few other times.
  19. The only saving grace (for now) is that snowpack is below average across northern Wisconsin and central/northern Minnesota. Headwaters for the Wisconsin and Mississippi rivers.
  20. GFS pitching a 16 day shutout for MSP. Zzzzzzzz indeed.
  21. Warming up nicely in Minneapolis under mostly sunny skies, -8 at 11:45am.
