NWS seems pretty bullish on snow potential for southern MN. Mentioned the possibility of thundersnow and a narrow band of warning criteria snow.
1.6” final call imby
Minneapolis and St. Paul city schools are open but many suburban schools are closed. Quick check revels in Duluth where it’s presently -21F there are no closings.
We are a hardy bunch in Minnesota. Also this type of weather typically happens annually
Pretty strange seeing Blizzard Warnings west of the metro and a WWA here for accumulations under an inch and blowing snow.
Should be interesting watching conditions deteriorate today.
That high pressure is going to keep my furnace running all day Thursday. High and low of 2/-16
Good luck to those south of 42N. I need the snowpack to build up to damper any future warmups this way.
Going to be a large spread in totals across the TC metro. Southern burbs should cash in nicely. I think I’ll be sitting in a transition zone ~20 miles north of the better totals, but it’s close enough that model watching is useless at this point.
Going to have to break out the powder skis for the back bowl at Welch Village ski area Sunday morning. 40 miles south of msp should mean an additional couple inches
