3.1” at MSP. Still blowing and snowing

Reported 4.0" this morning here in town. Blew around, and drifted some, so took multiple measurements. 7" reports last night along the higher terrain. Should be a little higher when the reports flow in. So the my 4" thinking did come to pass for town. Looks like LES just to my NE with a nice band over N WI.  Probably just some snow showers left for me today.

Reports coming with 6-13" away from the Lake to 3-5" along the shoreline. Decent storm. LES should be intense over in the UP later today into tomorrow.

35mph gusts at like 4:30 woke me up this am, lots of stressed people on campus (we still have class today) who have to drive either north or to the west side of the state

Just lost power because of 45-50 mph gusts. We were supposed to host Thanksgiving. Hopefully the power comes back on by morning.

Winds into the upper 30's this morning. Snow been blowing around pretty good. N WI over into the UP getting hit hard. They already had around a foot early this morning. Radar not picking up W UP, but it would look the same.

One last very dark day before it brightens with snow, lights were coming on just before 1pm out there! I was getting roughly 2500 lux during peak daytime - absurd. Was 9C this morning before the front dropped it 4C within 30 mins.

Snow was going to start at 4 and just as I thought "where is it?", at 5 the epic snowy period has commenced.

Those were some warning criteria winds today.  Several locations well over 55mph multiple times.  Cedar Rapids hit 64mph, Iowa City hit 63mph.  MLI/DVN hit 57/56mph.

Power is back. Thanksgiving is still on... for better or worse.

Pretty good hit for N WI folks.

Light snow most of the day but DAB-. Roads are clear. Still a festive-looking day that felt more like Christmas than Thanksgiving.

Getting into the more intense LES now, the bands are intensifying over much of SON with it jutting all the way to K-W and Guelph commonly. I got 3" overnight as expected, melted some on the roads and compacted which was more than I thought. The bands aren't stable enough to give anyone a huge amt. I see more down to my SW.
