MSP has been below zero since 9:08PM on 12/21 and that was just a few hour stretch of 0-1 degrees otherwise it’s 12/20 5:53PM when we dropped below zero. Impressive for this early in the year to have 48+ hours below zero.
Interstate 90 was closed between Albert Lea MN and Rapid City SD last night. That’s over 500 miles of interstate!
Wind and drifting was a nonfactor in the city. Temperature stayed steady around -11/-12 all night.
I’m going to attempt to go skiing today before the winds kick in. Gotta get that powder! There should be a nice window of calm today before things start rocking.
I was thinking this was a big factor. I’ve got a flight out of MSP 6am Saturday morning, long after impacts in my area are through, but I’m sure I’ll be offered a voucher anyway.
