  1. Haven’t stepped outside yet but eyeballing it I’d say we got about 5” of snow overnight. So what was supposed to be mostly rain/mix turned into a snowblower event. MPX: Overnight was a classic example of squeezing every ounce of energy out of the atmosphere over the Twin Cities as an intense mesoscale band of snow developed in response to a band of fgen centered in the h85-h7 layer. While most of you were sleeping, we saw snow rates of 2" per hour develop with this band, which quickly blanketed much of the metro in 3-5 inches of snow over the course of about 2-2.5 hours.
  2. James I’m a few miles west and south of you. I have some heavy pingers hitting the windows with lightning and thunder. I can’t believe how much of a bust the high temp was today. My weather station shows a high of 35.2. It was supposed to be 41. This could be a mess overnight.
  3. Tough to measure due to the wind earlier. But I measured about 5” on my driveway. It wasn’t the storm we hoped for, but I’m firing up the snowblower and drinking a beer afterwards. So I’m happy. On to the next…
  4. Pounding out there. Vis down to about 1000ft. Adding up nicely now.
  5. We’re about to get into the heavy returns here in the metro, but this thing is really gonna have to rip if we’re going to get to 4-6”. This is likely a huge bust. But we’ll see.
  6. 15z RAP now with double digit totals from the mid metro on north. I’d say at least 5” looking pretty good. Anything more is bonus.
  7. Wave 1 has been modeled to be north of the metro for days, so no surprises there. Wave 2 coming in pretty hot on the 12z runs so far this morning. Tomorrow’s snow is the money maker. Liking the trends to be honest.
  8. Lights flickered several times but this was pretty lame up this way…and I’m A-OK with that.
  9. Vivid lightning to the south. Cells popping up ahead of the main line.
  10. Tornado Watch expanded to the TC metro. Honestly did not really think that was going to happen. But, here we are. Time to saddle up.
  11. Wow how many active tornado warnings are there right now??
  12. The sun is out, the fog has lifted. It’s now up to 55F. It’s a beautiful day for December baseball…..
  13. Dew point and temp both at 50F and melting snow at a ridiculous pace. Friday’s 10” snowfall is mostly gone in my backyard which faces south. Any surface-based storms are really gonna have a chance to take off with bare ground. …and here comes the sun as I post this.
  14. Wow… 72° in Des Moines..on Dec 15 up to 50F here as the winds begin to pick up a bit. Visibility improving drastically.
  15. D**n! That is something you may never see again in December. I honestly hope that doesn’t pan out. We don’t need a sig tornado with destruction and then temps in the teens a few hours later. I can’t even imagine.
