Snow in northern Mn, tornadoes in southern MN. Welcome to March in MN

I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.

I think this might have taken care of cleaning the gutters in the spring. Of course I'll still have to do it in the summer after the helicopter seeds are finally off, but I'll take what I can get. (We just moved in, previous owner didn't clean out the gutters in the fall)

The forecasts I saw from a friend who lives out by DIA said 18-24” but Estes Park and some places a little north of there have a 24-30 estimate

The microclimates and divides out there cause some crazy stuff to happen. Castle Rock was in the 18-24” range but Colorado Springs (30 miles south on the other side of the Monument Divide) is only expecting 8-12

CO is the king of WTF Day To Day Weather, due to the mountains, arid climate, etc. Bipolar to the utmost degree.

It will be interesting to see if there are storms closer to the regional. Loveland is just north of Denver.

Do not like how this board is run?

Loveland's about 15 miles north of where I am right now. The latest forecast I saw had Loveland in the 12-18 inch zone, but things can change.

We'll see where the weather service takes with this system out west. First we were going to get rain showers and highs in the mid 40's, then rain and snow showers with a high of 40, then snow showers, then snow, but less than inch and now a high of 35 with 1-3 inches. I'll be interested in the evolving forecast over the next couple days.

I had my winter tires taken off on Monday, replaced by my four all-seasons. Plus my golf course opens tomorrow. Sure signs we'll be getting one of our infamous March snowstorms.

I'll put insurance back on my 2 main bikes this coming week.

That'll insure a 7" heavy wet snowfall.

I looked at that storm in Colorado - we get the remnants on Monday. We'll see how well the system stays together but southern /south western MN is expected to get some snow

18 inches of heavy wet snow in Longmont

reports of 24 inches in Loveland and Fort Collins.

My niece lives in Fort Collins and says her friends roof collapsed while she (the friend) is in Louisiana. My niece is now keeping two extra dogs and two extra cats while the landlord scrambles to try to seal up a roof...

I had been a very dry winter so far, after a very dry (and burny) summer. I'm happy for the snow.

Well the last time I looked at today’s forecast we were looking at 0.5” of snow. Now it’s saying 4”.

Yuck.

I'll be interested to see how much snow sticks. The air temp should be in the mid-30s, and the ground has warmed up quite a bit, so I'm thinking a lot of it will melt.

B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

I agree. That said, I don't even want to open the blinds on the windows today. :lalala:

Update from GPL's Meteorologist.

Quote:
The twin cities will squeak out of this one due to dry air cutting off the progression. The storm didn't shift north, the NWS was just late in issuing the warnings bc they didn't know how far north this would go and when it gets close to the cities, they get antsy about issuing warnings that won't happen. This is now right, and is aligned with what it looked like late last week in the models. We'll see if the snow totals get there though. There was a longer period of sleet early this morning than expected

We're close to 8" here in Mankato, the roads are atrocious. Visibility was an issue early this morning but not anymore, just very slushy roads with ice underneath.

We ended up with about 7 inches here in SW MN. I had to move the snow by the garage as it drifted to about 2 feet high. I will let the rest of the driveway just melt, as it is soft underneath and I would cause more of a mess.

Pretty much a blown forecast where I live. Supposed to be on the North edge of it and be over by the time we got up today. The opposite happened. It started when we got up, been a whiteout ever since.

I've got just a little bit of gas left in my 2 cycle snowblower. Perfect. I'll run it 'till the tank is empty and put it away until late fall.

Yeah, I don't shovel in March. With the high sun angle and 50's in the forecast, it will all melt by Thursday.

I have not checked the radar, but I think the heat island is safe. I have nothing right now and I am just inside the 494 loop.

Rain hitting here, hitting all 7 of my balcony boards, so it's a big'un.

3 boards? Standard rain

5 boards? A'ight, could be trouble.

7 boards? Yep, we got ourselves a storm.

Just checked radar and it appears the cities will start to see storms late afternoon, beginning with the southern burbs around 4:00pm and heading north/northwest. Some of these storms could be severe.

The worst of it calmed about the time it got to the I-35 split in Burnsville. Still a relatively strong storm coming through, but the tornado and rotation appear to have wound down.
