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. .
-
Trending in the wrong direction for Minneapolis. Mpx trimmed the floor from 18” to 12” and the probability of 18” has gone from 80% to 30%. .
-
Most CAMs are really honing in on south central and southeast MN getting the 24”+ totals. I’m guessing 18” is a lock for me with some potential of 20-22”. .
-
Short and medium range models are showing the same thing the long range have been showing for a week. Not sure what the problem is here. .
-
My point and click on the NWS website is 18-31”. Never thought I would see the day. .
-
18z GFS is farther south with the initial band but still managed to bump up our totals for the rest of the storm. I don’t even know how to comprehend this. .
-
Me too. I’m still waiting for the bottom to drop out somehow but it doesn’t seem like it’s going to. Maybe we’ll have a legit shot to break the Halloween Blizzard record. .
-
Our floor is 18”. My god. If this verifies it’ll be the biggest snowstorm I remember seeing first hand. And I’ve seen some big ones around here. .
-
I may never see a forecast like this around here again. .

Jan 19-20: Hoosier is not allowed to start this thread

Measured 2" in the driveway at about 7:30 this morning. Maybe another inch or two today.
