Looks like another decent storm to start the week next week. Nothing major but a solid WWA criteria storm the way it looks right now. A much bigger storm possible later next week. Sitting at 71.4” for the season at the airport. Need 27” to break the all time record. The models certainly want to give us a shot at that. .
-
Jesus. I wonder that the 1880-81 winter was like. Do snow records go back that far? .
-
The precedent that pedos won’t be tolerated? .
-
Sure looks like tonight’s storm is shifting north. I’ll be surprised if most of the metro gets more than 2” despite the WWAs in place. .
-
Kinda surprised MPX doesn’t have a WWA for the northern metro. Zone area forecast calls for 2-4” tomorrow for my county. .
-
Nice layer of ice this morning. Can’t even get the car back up the driveway right now. Gonna be a work from home day I think. The new pup will appreciate that. .
-
I’ve said it in private before but I’m convinced there is weather control happening to keep MSP operating as normal as long as possible during snowstorms and the hole around the metro saturates from south to north. I have zero data to back that up but I will gladly wear my tinfoil hat until I can be proven otherwise. It’s either that or the urban heat island affect plays a larger role for snowstorms than I realize. No matter what, there always seems to be a hole around the metro when snow moves in. .
-
It is. I just wish we could have spread the wealth a little more evenly on that last storm. That area got a 20” storm last winter while I got 6”. Seems to be a horseshoe floating around the south metro these days. .
-
There was an 8”+ difference over the course of like 10 miles. Excuse me for being slightly annoyed about that, especially when it occurs on a seemingly regular basis. .
-
Thanks for the sarcasm. Love it. .
-
Pics never do it justice but the top of my snow pile is over 6’ tall. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to clear the driveway if we didn’t get that rain last week to wash some of the snow away. .
-
And I’m right in the middle of the hole in the north metro. I swear we’ve been cursed for a long time up here. .
-
That same area got a 5 mile wide weenie band last year that gave them 20” while the airport got 12” and up here in Blaine we got 6”. Been a while since the north metro has won the snow total game. .
-
It’s impossible to get an accurate measurement with the blowing and drifting. I measured over 20” in one spot and then 6” right behind it. I’m gonna split the difference and go with 13-14” for me, maybe more. Still snowing decently up here as well. .
-
There are some 16-19” reports starting to pop up in the central and south metro. I’m not sure I completely buy it but I guess the larger bands did favor the south metro more than the north. Maybe not a complete bust for everyone. .
-
The models are broken IMO. I don’t know how to fix them but they have all been quite bad for a long time. .
-
I think MPX was conservative as long as possible. Unfortunately the models were still showing a historic storm by the time messaging needed to go out. What really sucks is the general public will never understand that. .
-
Unless I’m measuring completely wrong, I’m at 10” for the entire event. If it actually snows all the way until noon I might hit a foot. No matter what, this will not end up even being a top 20 event for me, let alone top 5 like it looked like a few days ago. .
-
I’m up in Blaine. We missed the bigger bands yesterday and the current band seems to be drying up on the north side. .
-
I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t hit double digit totals for the entire storm. Snow having a really hard time getting going on the north side. .
-
Sun is out and I see blue sky here in the north metro lol .
-
Exactly. It’s still a big storm but a bit of a letdown after there was so much consistency for so long with the high end totals. I should still end up with 15-17” by the end of it. .
-
Yep. Top 5 snowstorm is still possible. Top 10 should be a given. .
-
3.5-4” here so far. Definitely low compared to the 6-8” forecast by MPX. Looks like a foot tonight into tomorrow is a solid better. Probably unlikely we hit 18” at this point. Big storm but significantly lower than what was shown by the models for several days. .
-
It’s a bit of a let down when we go from being close to breaking an all time record to this. Still a big storm but not as impressive as it looked the last several days. .
