Trick or Treat
The "s word" is back in the forecast, though it seems unlikely to amount to any significance. But for snow lovers who suffered through last winter, it offers hope.
Indeed! Dance, PWL. Can't wait to see how this winter turns out. It's GOTTA be better than last year snow-wise. Thanks again, Bill. We appreciate this blog so much.
Amounts are “inching” up with weather.com saying 3-5 inches! Short term models all showing multiple inches. Novak starting to talk snow on Facebook! Let’s goooooo!!
Waking up to a Winter Weather Advisory even for the metro. This is bringing back memories of 1991, yes it is. My grandkid / great grands aren't prepared for THIS today. 70's yesterday and many inches of snow today. Your dancing has certainly paid off as we start the new season, PWL. I can't wait to see what we get.
We get a lot of snow predictions several days out but how fun would it be to get snow predictions the day OF the event?? Especially as this is such a surprise?
Hmmmm. It's sure a lot of rain. I'll say 2-3" of white snow in the metro. I can't wait for the snow globe effect when it starts pouring snow after the transition from the heavy rain right now. I always lament with 'If it were colder'...... we have SO much rain in the forecast right through early next week......... 'if it were colder' PWL, we would have piles of snow. So I'll say 2-3" white stuff in the metro with more north. Novak hasn't posted yet this morning on his FB.....
Sorry, PWL was late to to your post. Was awesome to have snow back for Halloween no less though I’m not a fan of snow before cleaning the yard of leaves so I’m glad we have a few weeks of tame/mild weather so the last of the leaves come down. So how about we make a season prediction of snowfall…make a prediction for your city/backyard as well as the airport and let’s see which city delivers the most this year and who comes close to the MSP total, season will be 10/31 thru 4/30.
Happy Snow Season, Everyone! It was nice picking up 4.3 inches on Halloween. I am not a fan of this weather pattern we have had since early September. Way too warm for my liking. Here’s hoping winter returns this season with gusto!
Well I see not much interest in my prediction game but I will share mine. Golden Valley 71” MSP Airport 62” Oh by the way, the middle of next week there’s something brewing and looking interesting for us winter enthusiasts! Get out and clean up your leaves while it’s still relatively mild because I have a feeling in about 7 days Old Man Winter will be knocking on our door step!
I am reading more and more that it’s becoming unlikely La Niña develops this season. The Euro is predicting a very warm (not as severely hot as last season) winter for the entire continental U.S. and southern Canada. I pray they are wrong. What is everyone on this site hearing?
Well, 'back when I was a child' we would have woken up to a nice foot or so of snow this morning...... over an inch of liquid fell in my area. Luckily, the temps are going down after today. I don't have any guesses for snow totals, but I am hoping we get way more than last 'winter.' Let is SNOW.
Oops: Let it SNOW (v let 'is')....... ah, texting. The weather pattern looks COLD, and it looks more ACTIVE on some sites, so here's to no more warmth till spring so that we can start plowing and shoveling and doing winter activities. :+)
We're back, baby (thanks, Bill!) Happy 2024-2025 snow season. Bring it!

Oh dang, you guys are predicting some pretty healthy snow totals for the season - love it! I'm hearing/watching next weeks' system, too!
