  1. Rain sandwich! 8-9” of snow Sunday night 1” of rain all day monday/Monday night 2”+ so far with heavy snow right now in Minneapolis. Temps crashing and visibility under a quarter mile at the airport. what a storm
  2. 8-9” of slop. Lots of moisture. This makes me happy.
  3. HRRR and the NAM show this filling in soon. Heaviest rates aren’t modeled to arrived until 6pm or so.
  4. The hi-res short term guidance has been brutal for central and western Minnesota, those areas looked locked in for 12-18”. NW Wisconsin might reel this one in.
  5. @hawkstwelvethanks for posting these model run comparisons to get a good handle on the trends. I really have no idea what to expect here riding the northern edge of the changeover
  6. Not loving the trends on the NAM for the metro. I’m happy to get precipitation in any form, but painfully close to staying all snow.
  7. I want snow, but I’ll be happy with 1.5”+ of precipitation no matter the form.
  8. Rain or snow, it doesn’t matter just give Minnesota precipitation please. Wetlands, lakes, ponds, and rivers are dropping at the time of year they usually rise the quickest.
  9. 11.1” during Met Winter. Sitting at 14.3” overall total, good for 2nd lowest total ever if we don’t see any more. Record lowest is 14.2”
  10. We are going to need a 2-4” precipitation week in a hurry. Less then 0.75” YTD and the lack of typical snowpack and frost coupled with record heat has things very dry with a bleak forecast.
  11. 4” so far at my homestead big cotton balls.
  12. This is a classic strong nino setup for Minnesota being exasperated by the screw-zone dome sitting right over the state.
  13. Southern plains getting more snow this season then Minneapolis was not on my bingo card.
  14. I used to ski Wilmot growing up when I’d visit family in Lake Zurich IL. Vail ruined Afton Alps, just outside of St. Paul MN. They have invested zero into the hill while charging nearly $100 a day unless you have their pass. I understand the business strategy, but it hurts the greater industry.
  15. We will continue to see consolidation across the industry. With rising costs from insurance to wages, and maintenance it’s inevitable for the smaller resorts to consolidate to survive. I’m not necessary anti-Skinner family buying up resorts, if they can maintain the local hill feel. (Always have loved Lutsen) However it’s the mega corps like fail resorts buying up properties that worries me.
  16. They had a big lake effect dump up there yesterday. Finland MN picked up 17”
  17. One of the worst model performances locally I can remember. Yesterday almost every model was showing 6-8” for the TC. I think we will be lucky to get 1”
  18. You came in right after me, probably missed ya by 10min at baggage claim.
  19. I was on UA1310 today. Cloud tops only 3k feet or so.
  20. It dipped below freezing this morning. #smallvictories
  21. It’s supposed to be day one of the heat here but stuck on the right (or wrong) side of the front. 75 and muggy.
  22. While it’s quite hot this week, this heatwave is very routine and nothing out of the ordinary. 3-5 days in the 90s with two topping out near 100, then back to average. If this is the worst of summer I’ll take it.
  23. I am impatiently waiting for our latest death band. 2-3” by bedtime
  24. I’m measuring 12-14” around my driveway. Kinda tough with the wind either blowing it away or loading it off the trees and elsewhere. There will be some 15”+ reports I bet.
