Rice County Skywarn
From what I can tell this morning, the snowstorm totally busted in most areas. I see 2" of snow by Menomonie, WI, 2" of snow in Isanti County, 3.5" by Camp Ripley, and 1" in Duluth. Here is us in Rice County, sitting in the donut hole of dry air. A lot of the snow you see on radar isn't even reaching the ground, and computer models are still showing it snowing here. The models were completely out to lunch!The National Weather Service this morning as of 4:56 a.m., is saying to expect 1-2" of ADDITIONAL snowfall, so I believe, much like a Gary Anderson or Blair Walsh field goal, that they are still very much in denial, or perhaps shock, that an initially forecasted 5-8" snowfall could actually be 0" in the end. But here we are!Snowlovers, remember, they also said this was going to be a back-loaded Winter, so perhaps we'll get started with it next week, and run it all the way through May!But......I wouldn't hold your breath! ...
