Spring 2026 Short Range Discussion

[Brian D]

Here's to hoping for a lively thread this year

The next couple weeks could be interesting up my way. Most of which comes in the 2nd week of March.

Too nice out. Endorphins are firing. F snow.

Roger that, but a robust snowpack will greatly help up my way, as the snow melts into the ground slower with less runoff, unless hvy rns hit. A better help for the abnormally dry conditions here, and wells don't go dry, or at least not too low. You end up with more sediments then.

Pretty sure that map will end up being quite correct.

No Chance hole curse is a bitch. Hopefully some good storms help you out. You need it.

Nice band of 5-8" of snow over southern MN into southwest WI today.  Not too far from Daddylonglegs if he still lives in La Crosse.

Good question.  I can't remember why he disappeared.

Up to 10" fell under that stationary heavy band in far se MN.

looks like tonights event will be too far south for us to get anything more than an inch or 2 up here, but will be nice to see flakes fly (for what may be the last/2nd to last time?)

big-time model guidance fail for today's event, and even in event performance was horrendous.

where upwards of 4-8" of snow occurred, the hrrr had only a dusting and the euro had only 1-3", for example.

The models did absolutely horrendous with this event up to and including now cast time.

This time yesterday the hrrr was showing 4-6” imby. Only model putting accumulating snow imby fwiw. Didn’t see a flake within 75 miles. Euro did decent with the placement of the band but not the totals.
