Received 2.5” in Minneapolis which puts us at 30.4” on the season with a current snow depth of 8-9”
-
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.
-
-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.
-
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”
-
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.
-
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"
-
Crystal MN airport. (Northern Suburb) just gusted to 66mph
-
Wind is rocking.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Intensity has really picked up over the last 15-20 minutes. We are going to add a lot to our total over the next few hours. EDIT: Just upgraded to a Blizzard Warning!
-
Flake size and intensity has improved. Didn't expect to see large intact dendrites with so much wind.
-
First hour in the books. 32F with steady snow and wind both picking up.
-
Mostly frozen wintry cocktail down to 34F and creating an icy base layer.
-
Lets see what this view is like in an hour or two, or six.
-
....and its showtime. Winds went from calm to breezy and our steady 40F temp is dropping quick in the last 5min. Changeover should happen in the next 30 minutes.
-
Light rain has commenced just as modeled. Latest runs of the HRRR would suggest double digit totals very much in the realm of possibility here. 18.7" on the season, lets see if we make a run at the 30" mark.
-
Unreal this was my thinking less then 24hrs ago. Gonna go full on blizzard mode here by mid afternoon.
-
Whoever sent me the snow magnet, Thank you!
-
Going to snow sideways
-
Posted in wrong thread but near Blizzard conditions might be realized here tomorrow. It’s crazy the evolution on the models since the 12z runs this morning. Double digit totals might not be out of the question. (If I anyone can accurately measure with 50mph winds)
