Tuesday's clipper looks pretty strong, and should provide a good 3-6+" in MN/WI. ?? is for me...Lake Superior? What will it provide? Fickle beast

Cold, snowy start to Winter keeps the flies away

BRRR! -10's with a couple -20's this morning. -sd's along the shoreline. -5 here in town (ranked 4th coldest). Dark over the lake with heavy sea smoke. Radar picking up an LES band over the water. BTW, the Sun just made it over the sea smoke. Takes a couple hrs after sunrise. -12 Duluth (3rd) -18 Hibbing (1st beat -17 1991) -11 Brainerd (1st beat -2 1991) -9 Ashland (T 1st -9 1972) -12 St Cloud (T 3rd)

0.2" of fluff in town with up to 2" around NE MN. Turning bitter tonight. -sd's to -10's. Even along the shoreline will dip below 0.

-SN falling this morning along the North Shore ahead of the clipper. That snow should be moving through later today sometime, and stay on the light side. Snow machines continue to hum along this week for the ski hills.

Ended Nov with 0.83" of precip (26th driest). Oct-Nov saw only 1.47" (10th driest with avg being 5.21"). Oct was 10th driest as well. But Nov was 11th snowiest at 9.5". Interesting, but believable, because along the shore we usually get mixed precip due to warm lake temps. That LES event really bumped us up, but had a higher S/L ratio. 18:1 was what NWS DLH reported which kept overall precip low.

Chilly morning with sd's inland (0 at Hibbing), and teens on the shore. Cold, clipper pattern the next few days. Should see some below zero readings this week around the area here, especially on clear, calm mornings. DLH is good at underestimating those. Not unreasonable to add another 5 to 10d colder to what they put out.

Let it snow, LET IT SNOW!! Winter starting on time this year.

Good way to end Nov for our sub.

5.9" is the final tally. Awesome hit by that LES band. 2.9" in an hour n 30 min. Pretty healthy snow rate at about 2"/hr.

In my email exchange with NWS DLH, they said they have 18:1 there. This stuff is very light, and coming heavy still.

Just reported 3.0" with heavy snow still falling, and more coming. Good band!

Nice band right over where it should be. Hope it lasts a while.

Band drifted into the shore, and it is developing more heading right into my direction. Could be a decent hit here depending on how long this lasts. SN bordering +SN currently.

LES band developed here this aftrn. Light snow along the North Shore. Heavier down towards Duluth/Superior.
