I absolutely do not envy the forecasters in Minneapolis...

Well, if we (just north of MSP core) are not going to get crushed, might as well take the precip and proceed to spring. Not like we had any winter anyway... Nonetheless, looks like this is going to be a mess.

Got quite the surprise hammering from this storm on the north side of the TC. Awesome!

Got a glorious april fools joke from mother nature. Somewhere around 8-10 inches of snow, and it is not exactly light.

Assuming we get a few more inches overnight, the drifts by morning should be pretty cool. Already seeing some significant ones around here! Unfortunate that the storm was modeled so poorly right up to the event, but weather is hard. NWS in Minneapolis getting absolutely roasted doesn't seem real fair...

Very disappointing so far just north of Minnespolis. Hoping the heavy band lifts up this way...

Got snow currently both north and south of me and radar not looking very promising...

Looking like this should be a fun ride. Still plenty of time left, but pretty incredible model consistency. Just a few miles north of the outer loop of Minmeapolis here and looking good. Trends seem to be favoring just south of here for the maximums at this point, but man this looks like it will be a fun one. Curious to see what the watches say when they are released. Let it snow!

It is indeed! Can hardly see across the parking lot here just a few miles north of Minneapolis. Big flakes too.

I am up in Anoka county!

Snow is absolutely pounding here with big flakes and a band sitting overhead. Been snowing steadily since 8AM. Looking like we will see some pretty impressive totals for the wind to whip around!

Snowing and -8 here just north of Minneapolis. Let the fun begin!

Raining steadily here. Looking outside at my driveway you can see it is starting to flash freeze / freezing rain. Going to be some scary roads.

First wave is a bust north here. The second wave being a bust to the south would be par for the course.

Yep, looks like NAM caved north as well.
