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.

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! -

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. -

Glad to see some good snowstorm action for you guys down there early in the season. Usually it's us N guys that see all the action this time of year, except for some LES events. -
Snow showers around here. Yesterday aftrn had a couple snow squalls that reduced vis to 1/4 mile or less really fast. They were brief. Nice to have some wx action for a change these past few days.

Winds into the upper 30's this morning. Snow been blowing around pretty good. N WI over into the UP getting hit hard. They already had around a foot early this morning. Radar not picking up W UP, but it would look the same.
-
Reports coming with 6-13" away from the Lake to 3-5" along the shoreline. Decent storm. LES should be intense over in the UP later today into tomorrow.
-
Reported 4.0" this morning here in town. Blew around, and drifted some, so took multiple measurements. 7" reports last night along the higher terrain. Should be a little higher when the reports flow in. So the my 4" thinking did come to pass for town. Looks like LES just to my NE with a nice band over N WI. Probably just some snow showers left for me today.
-
LES bands starting form. Getting some snow right now. Little earlier than expected, so possible 6"+ in town is possible.

Rain to wet snow, then it'll freeze up to a ice block. Typical early season snow. UP MI looking at 3ft in some spots with syn/LES combo. Here in town, I think 6" would be a big surprise. 4" max is my thinking. Warm lake. But higher terrain should do well. NWS DLH is good at overestimating. Most storms barely hit min guidance around TH.
-
NWS Duluth getting frisky with this one. Here on the shoreline, expecting lower guidance 3-5". But the higher terrain could do well here. The bulk of the precip hitting at night when temps are a little cooler, coupled with colder air mixing in will help with this one. Ground will cool off fast, as well.

Only 0.21" so far this month here. 2.18" is the avg for Nov. A very dry Oct-Nov up here. Oct was 10th driest with 0.63".

Ever since the 1998 super El Nino, temp profiles changed up here. After the Pinatubo eruption effect wore off in the mid 90's, it was like a switch was flipped. Urban sites aside, even rural sites show this pattern change.
