It's been a minute since we've had a big snow (6+) but on top of some decent snow cover, been awhile. There's about a foot exactly here now that the stuff from a couple of days ago settled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnwx85 Posted February 14, 2025 Share Posted February 14, 2025 Hoping to get the goods from the system but truly am taking solace in the lake effect behind it. An inch tonight is a good bet. Then another 6" one way or the other Saturday night into Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure. But most winter storms create that effect, with plenty of wind and drifting. Blizzard is 3+ consecutive hours with sustained winds of 35mph+ and visibility at or below a quarter mile. Many blizzard warnings that are issued do not technically verify, even though they feel like a blizzard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks decent on radar The WAA band was a total dud in Cedar Rapids. It produced flurries and gusty wind. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted February 14, 2025 Share Posted February 14, 2025 That WAA wing of snow is going to be a brief, but nice period of 'pound town'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnwx85 Posted February 14, 2025 Share Posted February 14, 2025 Might be slightly dated but I can get behind this. Edit: actually if I learned how to read I can see it was issued at 2135z today so not dated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radtechwxman Posted February 14, 2025 Share Posted February 14, 2025 Getting nice rippage with WAA snow. Hrrr had it missing me. Wish it was moving slow because could dump a lot fast. Hoping maybe a sign we will get surprised tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 14, 2025 Share Posted February 14, 2025 WAA stuff is winding down now. Good few hours of rippage with vis at 0.50mi, gonna eyeball ~2” here, we’ll see what the official measurement from MSP is in an hour. Maybe another 1/2-1” tomorrow as the CAA ramps up and the arctic comes to town for the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 15, 2025 Share Posted February 15, 2025 MSP reported 1.2” while just south across the river there is a 1.9” report and the NWS office reported 1.7”. I’m measuring 1.7” on my sidewalk. Light snow keeps back building to St. Cloud so we might tack on some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
