11/28 - 12/1 Powerful Winter Storm

[Beltrami Island]

I know a guy in Hermantown (up the hill) from Duluth who says they must have gotten two feet.  He spent most of the day clearing his driveway.  His son was jumping off the 2nd story deck of the house into the snow.

[St Paul Storm]

How much did you get?

I’d say around 5”. Closest report I could find was 5.5”. About 8” otg after compaction.

Not bad. Def a lower end of the range but solid

 

Ended up with 3.5 here

Ended up with 6" around here.  We were debating about going to the cabin since it was part of the Blizzard Warning, but decided to stay home instead. It would have been fun to experience, but at the same time who knows how long we would be up there due to the roads. Hopefully trails will get groomed in the next week for some snowmobiling up there! Pretty excited to take the sleds out at a decent time this year.

Congrats on the snow for you guys up north!  Doesn't look like it is going away anytime soon so you'll be able to enjoy a nice snow pack for a while.

Jaster--

 

 TC is on my list (only for a couple of days).

 

Let me know how much snow you got from this system.

 

 

Jaster should see some good SN later this morning...

 

 

No final snowfall map yet, but checking on reports from APX, it looks like Traverse ended up with about 6-6.5" in a fairly short period from roughly 8 am to 1 pm. The pivot point winners actually ended up being a couple counties south, hence those 8-10" reports I posted on last night (actually in GRR's region). This season has it's curve ball delivery honed. So far, my office is 0-2 against it wrt correct headlines, lol.

Despite their major bust on snowfall totals, GRR has indeed published a storm summary map. Three things stand out to my eyes. 1) Ofc, the sizable area that got more than 5" (their original max threshold), 2) The southward extent of decent snow amounts (nice surprise!), and 3) The fact that the furthest south plowable amounts once again gave the county just NW of mine a nice score while mby got nada. Many have spoken of similarities to last winter. Well, there's yet another data point to add to the growing pile fwiw. It seems that against long odds, "Nature will find a way" to accomplish what it has in mind to deliver.

I at the top of the R in Grand Rapids,  I received 5.5" (compacted a lot before measuring).  Seems about right.
