Let it snow, LET IT SNOW!! Winter starting on time this year.

[DocATL]

Is tomorrow’s system thread worthy or nah?

Looking like a 1-1.5" refresher for this area.  Be nice to cover up the bare spots created from the 40mph winds early this morning.

Yeah that last inch or so on my driveway sublimated quickly.

Had a 48mph gust at my station early this morning. While it was breezy pre-frontal that front/wind shift from the S to the W was abrupt, like in 5 min, and hit like a freight train with consistent gusts over 45mph. Woke me and the dog up lol.

Chilly morning with sd's inland (0 at Hibbing), and teens on the shore. Cold, clipper pattern the next few days. Should see some below zero readings this week around the area here, especially on clear, calm mornings. DLH is good at underestimating those. Not unreasonable to add another 5 to 10d colder to what they put out. 

[Brian D]

-SN falling this morning along the North Shore ahead of the clipper. That snow should be moving through later today sometime, and stay on the light side. 

Snow machines continue to hum along this week for the ski hills.

We've been missing the heaviest snows but make no mistake, winter has set in early this year! Single digits on the way Thursday night.

Took this this evening as the moon made the snow glisten.

Looking at the snowfall reports from last night. Nearly everyone that missed out over the weekend got some good coverage. Just about the entire sub, literally, has a halfway decent snowpack. When was the last time that happened? Its been a long time I bet when we can go across the lakes and the OH river and all points in between covered in snow, and not just dusted. And to kick off Dec. no less. Good stuff!

I kinda was in the middle by getting grazed by both, hopefully the next one targets us. Still no complaints on Dec 2nd. 

My measurable snow this season:

Nov 9- 2.5"

Nov 27- 0.1"

Nov 29/30- 3.1"

Dec 1/2- 1.2"

[OrdIowPitMsp]

Picked up 0.5” of fluff with the cold front. Slowly dropping temps throughout the day. First below zero temps of the season tonight.

[Brian D]

0.2" of fluff in town with up to 2" around NE MN. Turning bitter tonight. -sd's to -10's. Even along the shoreline will dip below 0.

Yep on edge of frontal passage. Doubt it amounts to much but Im loving the mood flakes on mood flakes vibe

[sbnwx85]

Mf’s have arrived.

[SchaumburgStormer]

Nice snow base with daily mood flakes? We are so back.

Need the clipper this weekend to trend stronger A-la the euro to ward off scary evil spirits (the baroclinic zone). Stronger lead wave suppresses everything that follows it leading to a less amplified, further SW storm track.
