    We got our 2 year old on skis this year. He loves sledding, and seems to really enjoy skiing too.

    Mood flakes all morning here.

    Spitting flurries today, lakes starting to freeze up, hopefully for good.

    I’m in some skiing groups on FB and there is already talk of a big dog around 1/9 like it’s set in stone. The average person doesn’t know not to take the GFS verbatim a week out.

    The first day of 2024 in Minneapolis featured a high of 25 with 1” snow depth. Xmas weather feels like a distant memory.

    0.7” overnight. Ground is white

    Got my final ski day of 2023 in today and conditions were better then expected. Shoutout to Welch Village for still having a dozen runs worth skiing open, even after the deluge. It’s been a rough start to the season but they have invested heavily in snowmaking and it’s the best skiing south of Duluth.

    1.60” storm total here. Might add a few hundredths more.

    Minneapolis set a record high again today reaching 54, breaking the old record of 52. I actually did some yard work in a t-shirt today. Steady light rain will be ongoing all night. This was a fun one to track even though it was wet instead of white.

    Our ~32 hour rain event is underway. Temps maxed out at 54 degrees. Minneapolis seems to be in the sweet spot to end up in the warm sector longer then almost every other area in the Midwest. The cold tongue punches quite a bit southeast of us.

    As expected the record high for today was broken at 3am. Currently we’ve surged up to 50, models are trending the heaviest rain totals to my west now.

    12/24 is low hanging fruit for high temperature records in Minneapolis. Current record is 46, the forecast high tomorrow is 55. The low tomorrow might be warmer then the previous record high. Last year Minneapolis stayed below zero on 12/22-23 and only rose to 7 on 12/24.

    Be careful. Someone drowned in Northwest Minnesota overnight after their ATV fell through the ice.

    The upside to the 2”+ of rainfall we are going to see tomorrow is deep soil moisture will get replenished. 2 summers of flash drought have really sapped soil moisture. The downside is what it will do to my ski hill.

    And now with the 12z run the GFS keeps us all rain with nearly 2” falling.
  16. OrdIowPitMsp
    GFS has latched onto the idea of backside accumulating snow on Tuesday, while the low spins in place. Something to track and be disappointed by while everything is closed for the holidays.

    The past 6 years of seasonal snowfall in Minneapolis. Average is 54” 22/23 - 90.7” 21/22 - 50.2” 20/21 - 48.7” 19/20 - 51.5” 18/19 - 77.1” 17/18 - 78.3” We are due for a clunker.

    There are 6 ski hills open daily within a 75 minute drive from my house. Not every winter is going to be frigid and snowy but I still get to enjoy my winter hobbies. Throwing my gear in the car for a hump day shred sesh right now. Long term post Xmas rains look better here. Still a long way to go this winter.
  19. OrdIowPitMsp
    Both the GFS and Euro are showing backside accumulating snow occulating into my area behind the Christmas rains. Long way off but interesting to see both models showing that feature.

    Selective breeding? Send me one, I’ll plant it in my in-laws backyard, they are about a mile north of the 45th parallel.
  21. OrdIowPitMsp
    12/24 record high in Minneapolis is 46, current forecast is 49 and lots of rain.
  22. OrdIowPitMsp
    Low of 17. Had a dusting of snow at work, nothing at home.
  23. OrdIowPitMsp
    Pretty hefty snow squalls in Duluth this evening. Canal Cam shows the wind really whipping.
  24. OrdIowPitMsp
    Crazy, how often are soils frost free in mid-December up that way? Models are trending drier here now, putting the heaviest axis of precip to my NW
  25. OrdIowPitMsp
    It is looking like 0.50-0.75” of very cold rain Friday night/Saturday. Might cause minor flooding with the ground being frozen. The Euro and Canadian models are trying to switch things over to snow here and potentially get interesting with accumulations, but my gut says it’ll be white rain at best. Duluth and areas just south will get snow and maybe salvage a white Christmas?
