I think you guys would like the UP MI area. Lots of snow, and tends not to see a lot of bitter wx because of the Lake. Some parts get excessive snow, but you can find areas that aren't so bad. Temperate summers, too.
-
Coldest am yet around N MN. -10's/-20's. Badoura over in the Park Rapids area -28. Windy last night, but they calmed down, and with clear, blue skies allowed some good radiational cooling this morning. Impressive cold snap for mid Dec, but I'm ready for milder temps, and some snow chances.
-
-10's across NE MN (some -20's) even on the shoreline. Wind chills in the -30's to -40+ in some places. Bitter am. Picked up a 1/4" of snow yesterday. -12 in town here is tied 6th coldest this morning. -16 at DLH is tied 6th coldest as well. Another bitter day tomorrow, then things start to warm

In my sig (TH 7NW hasn't updated yet. Observer sends in every 2 weeks or so)
-
Tonight into tomorrow will be a nasty slap in face. CWA issued. Even Sunday will be brisk.
-
-SN this morning here. Some minor accum so far. Should be over around midday. Then a very bitter day tomorrow.
-
Just looking at GFS long range. It shows the mess I'm seeing. Whether or not that ends up the case, we shall see.
-
What was the SWE of that snow? Drier snows melt down faster. More air in the pack with fluffier snows as well.
-
Totally got robbed on this one. NADA! Even Duluth only got 1-3". Talk about a S trend. That's OK, still early in the season.
-
Got curious as to when the last time we saw a very cold start to Dec for the sub as whole. Looks like 2010 is the closest.
-
Snow then bitter wx follows this weekend. Haven't had a Dec like this in ....... 10 yrs or so just off the top of my head.
-
Reported 3.5" of powdery snow this morning. Looks like 2-5" around the area. No reports yet from the Grand Marais area. They may have gotten a bit more. UPDATE: looks like the tip of the Arrowhead only got 2-3" Next one starts later today
-
Early data in for Nov showing a near avg month (on the + side). Fall was very warm. 5 & 10 yr charts shown respectively.
-
-sd's/10's this morning with sd's along the shore. Looks like 24-36hrs of light/mod snow my way. 6-8" total accum forecasted for TH.
-
Ice quickly forming in the bays around the Lakes.
-
Cold morning with -sd's along the shore and -10's inland with some -20's. Heavy sea smoke. Looking forward to some snow action starting tomorrow.

Winter 2025-26 Short Range Discussion
Brian D replied to SchaumburgStormer's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Thinking 8-12" potential along the shore with these 2 classic Alberta clippers. Lake enhancement will really help here, especially for the higher terrain with the 2nd one, which is pretty strong. Track could change some, tho, making a big difference. The boundary between the 2 may allow for some LES banding to develop Tues between systems. Something to watch.
-
Pretty good call here.
-
Clear blue skies this morning. -sd/sd's around the area with some -10's around I-Falls. Nice to have the Sun shining. Lots of cloudy days in the Winter. Reflected light really brightens things up (almost too much sometimes).

Winter 2025-26 Short Range Discussion
Brian D replied to SchaumburgStormer's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
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.
