Looks pretty sweet.  Looked like that here too a few months ago.

However, the current state of things..

MSP eeked out a low of -1 this morning. We’ve now had a low temperature at or below zero for 14 of the past 15 days. 

That’s very impressive, especially with the significant UHI at MSP. Of course there’s snow cover there and upstream, which helps…and the nights are still fairly long.

What’s your current snow depth, and what was the max depth this season?

Officially 2” otg at MSP, max was 10” back in mid December. We’ve slowly inched our way back down and flirted with bare ground a few times but got the surprise post Christmas storm and some little snows to keep us with some snow.

-sd's along the shore with -10's/-20's inland. Some -30's near the border with Seagull Lake the winner at -38. After tomorrow morning, we should be back to avg temps for a while (20's/+/-sd's). 1-2" snowfall expected Sun, so that'll be a nice change.

Wow, that’s surprising how low the depth is. Sorry to hear that. I guess even MSP isn’t immune to maintaining a healthy snow cover, even during the heart of winter. The depth has actually decreased by 4” since 1/1, even with a cold January and 4.1” of snowfall during the month (that’s a very low snowfall amount, but you’d think it would have helped at least maintain the 6” depth from 1/1).

There were a few mild days earlier in the month, plus the MSP urban environment probably doesn’t help. Ugh…we need to get past this dry/chinook pattern. Obviously it has been cold recently, but the angle of the cold is all wrong. I used to laugh when Joe Bastardi would say that, but it’s true. This is why you need to build up a snow cover early in the season, to withstand the inevitable dry periods.
