Brian D Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Pixie dust falling today. "T" day. Chilly out with -sd's/-10's this morning. Ely/Seagull Lake areas were in the -20's. Looks like the Bemidji/Park Rapids areas were as well. But this will be more like it, and might even get an inch of snow Sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

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.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Sun is out today. While Chicago sees LES, this will be our first day in 17 days with no snow falling. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 -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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 My loops from the previous storm. I actually saved a lot more data for making a 500mb loop, but I didn't post that. https://great-lakes-salsite.web.app/Jan_23_2026_GFS_surface_loop.html https://great-lakes-salsite.web.app/Jan_24_2026_radar_loop.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnwx85 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 South Bend's high of 20 degrees today is the warmest in 7 days. South Bend spent 7 consecutive days below 20 degrees, the city's 9th-longest stretch in history. The 37.6" of snow in January (so far) is the 8th snowiest January on record. The official season snow total is 74.7" (north side of town). My backyard total is 65.9" (south side of town). By my calculations... this is the 7th snowiest winter through January on record. We'll see what the rest of the season holds! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McHenrySnow Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 January goes down as the least snowiest month of the 25-26 winter (so far) here. November was the snowiest. Damn wind drifted what little snow we had leaving large patchy areas. My backyard is protected by trees, shrubs, and a fence so it looks much nicer than the south-facing front lawn where the wind has free reign.

I’ll go measure later, but this is now the 18th day in a row with snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 -10's/-20's inland with +/- sd's along the shore this morning. Looks like 1-2" possibly 3" of snow for tomorrow across the broader region here. Forecast is for 1" here in TH. Stats for Jan here in TH: max avg 16.9 (23.7), min avg 1.2 (7.4), mean avg 9.1 (15.6), precip 0.67" (1.04"), and snow 10.3" (14.7"). Since Oct, precip sits at 2.79" (ranked 10th driest). Going to need some wet months this year or else drought severity will continue to worsen.
