The initial wave yesterday ended up further south than the models predicted which definitely cut into Brookings and surrounding areas overall totals. MSP should be in a good spot to take advantage of this second wave as it cranks up and heads east over the course of today. I think yesterday didn't pan out quite as expected over there, similar issue to Brookings, but hopefully both spots can make up some ground today/tonight.

Well seeing I'm trying to get out of here, I can definitely say I'm not looking forward to it! haha

12z GEM and GFS are almost identical for FSD over the next 24 hours. They show about 4-5 inches by 6PM, 6-7 by 12AM, and both end up around 10 inches by tomorrow morning.

On another note, looks like the FSD radar is back up thankfully. With the strong winds it's hard to tell what is falling snow and what is blowing snow but radar obviously helps nail things down a bit better.

I'm in Brookings for work this week.  Seems like they definitely backed off totals here, but going to be hard to measure anything. They started dropping roads gates I see.  I live about an hour east of MSP, so far totals are holding a little better there for now.  

We definitely doing pretty good up here in balsam lake. I heard the snow hitting the underside of my tundra. I expect to see alot more snow here than when I lived in rockford, il last year. 

Total went from 8 to 12 to 18 to 21

Just landed in Minneapolis now a 2 hour drive. Think I got ahead if it for the most part

Just logging in this season. I snapped this photo last week. I'm not ready for winter, but it's here either way. Many lakes are starting to ice over.

Oh boy. This forum is going to be riddled with meltdowns all day...

Everybody ready for another shift today! Let’s get ready to rumble!

So now it's not missing us?

You seem like a miserable prick

You live on the lakes in Madison? My first bass tournament is april 18 on the Mississippi river this year, followed by Madison May 2.

I give up on cold and snow this year, don't actually remember models projecting snow this poorly in a long time.

^Trails will be shot in 3 maybe 4 weeks. My guess is we'll have our piers in by the 20th of April this year.

Rockford

Some of the biggest flakes I've seen

Mostly snow in Rockford right now

Bullseye right over me in Rockford!

I know the feeling, I live in Rockford...losing hope

Feeling good where I sit, but that's the exact moment the rug gets pulled out from under me....worried I may get in on sleet freezing rain this pulls 60mi further nw

just starting to make the switch in Rockford!

It filled in just enough to keep it going, looks like we are going to be in an extended good band of snow. 20 miles west and nothing on radar showing up.

We have a solid two inches in Rockford. Hopefully it fills in quick to keep our total going

I live in Rockford,Il. This is going to be a close one.

Finally switched to all snow 10 miles south of Rockford,IL Roads snow covered already.

Just got upgraded in ogle County to 4 to 9 inches!!

Let it go NEJeremy, go check out a third world country. It will allow you to realize how good you actually have it... He won because people are tired of the system in place, you should be too. This is weather board, not a political rant forum. Stay on FB for the drama. You are lucky enough to be part of a country that allows you to bash the next leader of the nation... heard if goes over well in North Korea and Russia.

^there's some real tools on this board. It gets so annoying and frustrating to filter through 3 pages of bickering to get a little information by the people that are knowledgeable (not gdr). Thank you to the people that post current facts. To the ones that act like constant jags, have a great Christmas.

1st flakes of the season falling now in rockford,il!
