RogueWaves Posted Friday at 09:55 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:55 PM Not a fan of ice but it has some photogenic qualities. Might strengthen the meager snow cover a bit too. This morning was legit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartman Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago When was there ever a previous December that any sunshine occurred for more than a week straight? Since the 14th right after the snowstorm the day before, every single day had some sun, even when there were few days with any measurable precipitation or above-normal temps (especially yesterday's "Torchmas") during that stretch. Incredibly unreal, isn't it? Today, however, it all changed. Today was the first overcast day since the snowstorm back on the 13th and looks like we may very well be done with any sunshine heading into the new year. If this is the beginning of an upcoming longest overcast stretch of the season we're heading for, TWC/Wunderground is trying to be pushy about it. Other than the rainstorm Sunday, pretty much ZZZZZZZZZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted 11 hours ago Author Share Posted 11 hours ago Looks like a good hit Sun night. Not so sure if it'll be that great my way. Might hit min guidance. S of me will do really well with Lake enhancement/LES, tho. Then another strong shot of bitter air for the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can be a fine line between hail or sleet sometimes. The whiteness of the graupel could easily be partially melted snow that refreezes. Most sleet I've seen is mostly clear, tho, so more data would be needed to make that call. It can be an easy mistake this time year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnchaserguy Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Looks like this could be one of the bigger storms we’ve had here in MSP the last couple winters. Pretty much all of the main models show 6” or more, including the GFS and Euro which seem to be performing the best this winter. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Looks like 1/4-1/2" of cold thunderless rain here followed by some flurries/snow showers Monday. Would have been nice to get into the warm sector and get some storm action. Sort of getting a lame split here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Perry Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Ahh yes, the usual Michigan winter I’ve come quite accustom to… Where it’s dry and sub-zero for days followed by a sudden warmup to 33° with 2” of rain and 60 mph winds one day, then right back to sub-zero and dry for weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Im so frickin jealous of the UP. They are going to get crushed with this blizzard. At least the snow base will be building up for when I go in mid February. Been a while since our region has seen such a wound up storm...perhaps a good sign for the lower Lakes at some point in January or February? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago WSW for 5-8” with a blizzard warning one county west. Not much lead time on headlines, not sure how many people even know it’s going to snow tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, the one that was forecast to bomb much earlier and actually be a legit bliz for The Mitt. Instead it finally got going good up in Canada and serious wind-driven +SN was confined to the usual LES Belts of both peninsulas. LP is way over-due for a wound-up powerhouse storm, to say nothing of a CAT-5 (20+) storm that delivers such to more than a couple county region like Jan '99. You can add another 1,095 days for SEMI/DTX since this map in '22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like GRR with their advisory for a lake squall or 4-7" synoptic snow. I put little faith in the nws offices decision on what to issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
