  • Hope everyone has been well! It has been tough this winter and last for snow lovers, but looks like we may have a shovel-able amount Friday.From the NWS:Friday travel or Valentine's Day dinner plans? Perhaps this is a forecast you will not love! Confidence is increasing in accumulating snow for communities along and east of I-35 Friday evening. 2"+ accumulations are most likely in western Wisconsin. Little in the way of snow accumulation expected across western Minnesota.

    Yeah, I saw the same discussion on FB. It's 'funny' watching the reactions/comments. Bummer. That's a lot of dry air.

    It’s mid-February and officially the TC is sitting at 14.1 inches of snow for the season. I am hoping for tomorrow’s system, but it looks like we will only get crumbs again. The big ones are now just missing us to the east. I was reading some weather articles from last October that were warning […]

    Thanks for the detailed update. I didn't even remember that last year on Valentine's Day MSP got a RECORD 6.9" at the airport. It was such a 'slim snow' winter, I don't even remember it! I'm with you in 'wishing' but obviously seeing from the discussion you posted that…. meh. My local forecast still has […]

    NWS forecast discussion this afternoon. Speaking about the Twin Cities, I know what I want to happen, but I also have a feeling of what will likely happen. “Possible scenarios. We`ll start with the boom. That comes down to that WAA band going gangbusters by the early afternoon. This is the forcing that will have […]
