Fair. And no doubt there were similar winters in the past. Just providing a little historical perspective based on the city's official numbers. For the area in general, definitely can be a lot worse than the last couple winters.

Spokane definitely had well over 30" in 1995-96, FWIW. They're missing some data that winter. Unfortunately the ASOS transition around that time screwed a lot of snowfall data up.

If the 12z EPS is right, the midnight reading on Friday night at MSP should be well below 0F and not get above 0F till roughly midnight Sun into Mon. Brrrr!!!!

Not much here either; 4.2mm on the station. Windy though. We'll see how the rest of the week shakes out.

To be fair, the airport is quite a bit higher elevation than where Phishy lives. I’m up on the South Hill at similar elevation to the airport and we had snow on the ground for long stretches last winter, but a quick drive down the hill and it was bare most of the time. A very marginal winter that was elevation based.
