Snowing pretty good. Almost 2" already.

Snow totals were nudged up for my area. Was only expecting a couple inches at most north of Duluth, and now 3-6". Even Duluth expecting a little more than previously forecast.

Looks like 3-6" in the area from yesterday's snow. 4" here. Duluth missed out on this one. Everything was just east of them, so N WI, and the Arrowhead of MN got in on the action, especially the shore. Looks like another 1-2" possible for me tomorrow, but most staying between Duluth, and the Twin Cities.

Glaze of ice this morning in the area before the snow really kicked in caused lots of accidents/spinoffs, especially around Duluth, and southward.. Looks like a couple 2-3" right now, but radar showing band moving eastward, so should be ending real soon.

Ice and snow potential. Looks like I will only see a tiny amount of ice before the snow kicks in. South of me could be a little more nasty.

Earth Day looking cool with a front passing through bringing some wet weather.

Looks like Easter weekend going to be a little wet.

My daughter-in-law took these pics this evening in Beaver Bay. Awesome display of the northern lights!

I have young lion moving through on the 1st. 3-6" I'd say. I'll take it. And as I mentioned in the Holiday thread, March will be interesting.

Another 1" of snow yesterday, and now another couple coming Monday, with a little ice possible.

Reminds me of March 2010 up my way. We had 1-2" of ice away from the lakeshore, and up the shore that decimated the trees. It was a huge mess. Here in town it was only 1/2", and power stayed on. Just had a new roof put on, and the birch next door was dragging it branches all over my new roof. Luckily no damage, but I was worried.

That clipper on Monday brought 12" of snow up the shore in Silver Bay, so they got in a good hit with the lakes help. 5" for me on that one plus this one will leave me with 7-8" for the week. Not bad.

Couple inches here in town so far. Areas around Superior/Ashland/Bayfield WI reporting 6-12" with isolated reports of 15-26" in the hill country early this morning. LES kicked in hard for them. Still snowing, so looking to see increased totals at the end.

Up my way, looks marginal for heavier snows, but winds will be up. Just had 5" from that clipper yesterday, so blowing snow will be a factor.

Twin cites looking to rank high on this list of snowstorms with this one. Although it will come in 2 rounds, so if they separate the two, then the second one will probably be the one listed if it makes it. Jan 1982 was a humdinger with 2 big rounds back to back (37.4" in 4 days). The "Domebuster" was notable, if you all remember that one when the Hubert H. Humphrey dome collapsed. Love the "Big Mess" title from last month LOL. You could say that for them with almost every snowstorm.

2" so far my way. Looks nice seeing pure white again.

Tomorrow round 1, with more mid week. Looks like I'll see around a foot or more on top of the foot of glacier imby by the end of the week.

Prez day clipper (3-6"), then winter storm. MSP BOOM!! Lake effect going to help things my way with no ice. BRING IT!!

Feb 15 384hr GFS. As I mentioned earlier concerning March, looks to be an interesting month. Winter isn't going to give up too easy.

So-so on this one. Clipper moves in real fast over the northern sub, but I indicated a weak trough passing by. Front moving out through the southern sub with no real energy with it, so nothing much with that. The colder air confined to the north.

0.88" of rain yesterday. Now it's cold, and iced up again. It's a good thing there's very little frost in the ground this season. All the rain, and melt can easily soak in the ground. Yes, we have had big puddles, but it could be much worse. Still 8-12" of snow otg, tho. Still plenty of heavy snow chances in the next 6-8 weeks up here.

Ugly wet day, and still raining. Then it all turns to ice again. But the ice that has been exposed from prior melting has made walking very tricky in spots with the water over it. Big puddles all over. Looks like March, again. A much different Feb than the last couple years to be sure.

Rain moving in now with a little snow (1-2") to end things tomorrow morning, and very windy then, too.

Messed up with the cold part, and a better configuration for the 13th. President's day looks a little closer, so will see how that one pans.

2" of snow yesterday eve. Wet stuff that stuck in the trees. Looks nice here this morning.
