Snowpack having a big impact on temps this afternoon.

Good shot at hitting 70 in the final few days of the month looks like.

That GFS 384hr total snow map is depressing. Stick a fork in this winter, it might be done. 

Have had 0.3" here in the past 29 days.  It's been done lol

Take away the supercell/tornado threat last week and this may have been the most boring February I can remember.  Hopefully March brings something of interest.

Picked up 0.3" of snow here today.  MLI had 0.6", DVN with 0.5"

Looks like a dog turd duster tonight, and then nothing for the next 9+ days.  Than god for the mid January stretch.

Picked up 0.11" of rain here.  Hopefully it washed some of the road salt off.

Hoping for a clap of thunder later this evening/overnight.

Looks like a little cold rain tomorrow night and some flurries Fri morning.  Other than that looks pretty quiet for next 10 days.

Feeling really fortunate for that intense stretch of winter weather in mid January.  Outside of that 13 day stretch we basically had no winter.  Even though palmboy was a troll there's no doubt winter's are getting extremely wimpy, and apparently heading towards non-existent if trends continue.

I'd be framing that one for the wall, great shot!

New record high at MLI today with 67 degrees, DVN hit 66.  Hit 63 here.  

Spring fever in the air with towering cu building up and temps in the 60s.  

Nice to see supercell structure on Feb 8th.  Deep moisture limited, but these babies definitely wanted to get frisky.

Some quick crappy cell pics 

Pretty kewl to have the local NWS talking about tors in the AFD on Feb 7th 

MSP now has ~48" less snow than this time last year.  Talk about going from one extreme to the other, wow.

Hmmm, think the RRFS is my new favorite model lol

A bank of low clouds and dense fog backed in from the east this morning and co ck blocked temps.  Only 42 here vs 52 at MLI just 25 miles southwest.  Luckily we have 60s coming for Thursday.

I forgot to ask the other day... Isn't president's day the 19th? 

Ha I thought it was 12th.  12th is Lincoln's birthday, oops.  

Not sure yet how the storm system next week pans out but I say we name the thread title the President's Day Pounder.

Clouds and/or showers will be the one thing that could hold us down a bit on Thursday.

Looking forward to some thunder Thu evening.

3 weeks ago today we only made -8 for a high with 15" of snow otg. Today it's 50 with no snowpack.  What a turnaround.

Good shot at mid 60s here on Thursday.  Just some scattered piles/drifts left at the moment, but even those will be gone by Tue or Wed.  With the ground continuing to dry out the sky's the limit with temp potential.  

The President's day system looks very thread-the-needle but is definitely the next system worth watching. 

57 at MLI today.  76 degrees warmer than 11 days ago when they hit -19.

The omega block will be gone by this time next week.  At least that's a step in the right direction at being able to get something meaningful to track.  Would hope the pattern after that will allow for some storminess to return to the sub.
