My favorite are the severe warnings for outflows with no precipitation

Hindsight, but some severe probs for wind would've been justified today.

Under the right conditions shallow convection can draw down impressive winds.  It is different to see this in a post cold-front environment as opposed to narrow frontal squall line with a bomb surface low.  An odd situation for the midwest.  These shallow cold-pool severe weather events happen more often in the Pacific Northwest with late season cold upper lows spinning inland and interacting with stronger afternoon surface heating.

Had robust snow showers/blowing snow most of the day yesterday with steady temps in the mid-teens, then a low of 7 last night. Currently it's 10 degrees with below zero wind chills and scattered very light snow showers tapering off.  If there's enough holes in the cloud cover overnight, it'll drop below zero.  Right now the point forecast is 4. 

You'd never know it's nearing April 1st by looking outside.

Mid week system could be a doozy.

5/-5 for lows this morning around the area. Chilly weekend. Could get slammed with heavy snow here in a few days. 

I with along 350+ people watched the first big movement out of Duluth of the season as the Burns Harbor tooted it way under aerial lift bridge. Saw it was in the single digits there. I prefer to be inside my warm house to watch it instead.

Here's a vid showing the first ships of the season here in Two Harbors. They really have to do some fancy piloting to get in, and out of the harbor here.

still was able to get outside a bit and work on my base tan. It is spring break season.

I actually got a slight burn earlier this month lol.  I'm pretty fair skinned but can tan reasonably well... thankfully have some central/eastern European ancestry to go along with northern European.  :P

With 25" of snow on the ground, INL dropped to -8 this morning.  A bit wintry for March 28th. 

Ely hit -11. :wub:

Amazingly enough, INL has been even colder later in the season.  Some examples below, with records going back to 1897.  As expected, the April 1982 arctic outbreak shows up.

-21 on 3/31/1975 (!)

-14 on 4/3/1954

-12 on 4/2/1954

-11 on 4/6/1982

-9 on 4/7/1982

INL's latest sub-zero temp on record was 4/8/2018 (-3)...a good illustration of how anomalous 1982 was.

pretty impressive cold.  We've had two straight days with almost wall to wall sunshine and we've only topped out in the low to mid 30s each day.   Really shows the depth of the cold airmass

Definitely impressive. Yesterday was a mix of clouds and sun and we topped out at 32. But today was sunny all day after some early snow and we only topped out at 30. Areas outside the metro stayed in the 20s both days despite sun.
