    Today’s job site right off Interstate 35W south of downtown

    Before the snow started

    Tried to post the backyard webcam but apparently it’s over 1.95mb in size and it’s difficult to resize from my phone while working outside in this weather.

    Steady snow now. All frozen
  5. OrdIowPitMsp
    Changeover has begun. Dusting already

    33 and light rain/drizzle here. 6-10” forecast later this afternoon and tonight. Certainly been a MN/IA winter so far. Might push 40” on the season after all is said and done with this system.

    NWS going bullish with snow totals, and I can’t blame them. Model trends certainly in our favor up here. Going to be a nowcast event, someone will get screwed.
  8. OrdIowPitMsp
    Should be a nice prolonged light snow event here to refresh our slowly diminishing snowpack.

    Another day of dense fog and a dab of snow throughout the day. Snowpack holding strong at 8” with temps busting low today. Didn’t break 19F
  10. OrdIowPitMsp
    Around sunrise the past two mornings in the endless dense fog we’ve been experiencing light snow develops and has producing a dusting to 0.2” Probably a great setup for cloud seeding.
  11. OrdIowPitMsp
    That month produced 39” here. It was epic.
  12. OrdIowPitMsp
    Received 2.5” in Minneapolis which puts us at 30.4” on the season with a current snow depth of 8-9”
  13. OrdIowPitMsp
    8.7” of snow at the airport and 0.48” liquid equivalent. comes out to an 18-1 ratio but it’s probably even higher considering a solid 0.1-0.15” fell as rain.
  14. OrdIowPitMsp
    -4F outside and calm the morning after. Driveway cleared, it sure is a lot easier to push then the slop we got in October and November.
  15. OrdIowPitMsp
    Final storm total of 8.7” here. Not sure how anyone was able to accurately measure. Current temp of -2F our first foray below zero of the season.

    The dog wanted to turn around before I did. Walking to the nearby Lake Nokomis you have a large open area to feel to full effects of the wind.

    Shoveled the walk to the garage, impossible to know true depth but 6" seems reasonably conservative at this point. 11F NW22G44MPH visibility 1/4

    I can’t get the tweet to embed, but at 6pm MSP 4.2” Chanhassen WFO 5.9”
  19. OrdIowPitMsp
    Front shot. As you can see roads are completely snow packed. Shoveled the front walk and sidewalk a few minutes prior and already drifting back over.
  20. OrdIowPitMsp
    Just went out on a walk. Brutal conditions with significant drifting even in the middle of a major urban area. Hard to tell how much we've received but I'd guesstimate around 4"
  21. OrdIowPitMsp
    Crystal MN airport. (Northern Suburb) just gusted to 66mph
  22. OrdIowPitMsp
    Wind is rocking.
  23. OrdIowPitMsp
    Theres going to be no way to get an accurate measurement when this is all said and done. North is the left side of the photo.
  24. OrdIowPitMsp
    Beginning to hear those house creaking gusts. Some drifting in the front of the house since we live on a N/S oriented street.

    First Blizzard Warning in the Twin Cities metro since April 14-15 2018 when we were hit with that 16" monster.
