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
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.
-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.
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.
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.
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.
