Will February Offer Hope for Snow-Starved Winter Lovers?

Solidly in the midst of another winter with minimal snow, snow-lovers turned to February for hope of a turnaround. Will it happen?

  2. Several inches today in northeast Minnesota. TC left out in the cold…again. Earlier today I felt somewhat confident the Sunday/Monday system would favor the TC. Alas, current guidance is calling for 4-5 inches for St. Cloud and north. The TC? You guessed it, possibly a whole whopping inch! 14.2…..

  3. Tim (and fellow snow lovers) I feel your pain. The metro struck out today, looks likely to strikeout again tomorrow night and Monday, and the Wednesday system right now looks very unpromising. Next weekend…possibly…maybe? One would think somewhere along the line it will accidentally snow enough so the metro can pickup a whole inch of snow. Right? Right?

  4. Welp. Well, I asked and received a new thread for us all with the hopes for more than the dusting we got today. I hate computer models that dangle decent snow and then poof, it's gone. Let's see how much snow we can get this month. C'mon Mother Nature/Old Man Winter.......

  5. Looks like these counties are the winners for a heavier snow band tonight: "Kanabec; Isanti; Chisago; Polk; Barron; Rusk."

  6. That’s no surprise. Whenever it does actually snow, it’s always north of the metro. As Schnee Meister said above, maybe, possibly, remotely conceivable an inch of snow could fall on the metro next weekend? I won’t hold my breath.

  7. What ever happened to that perfect snowstorm setup for the TC Novak was going on about a week or so ago?

  8. Didn’t the national weather service predict above average snowfall for the season? LOL What a joke! What a colossal failure! Sorry to be negative. I’m just overly frustrated like the rest of you! Bring on Spring so we can rid ourselves of yet another major fail of a Minnesota winter.

  10. Winter Weather Advisory just posted for Hennepin County and north for 2-4 inches tonight/tomorrow. However, it appears the focus for 2-4 inches is mostly on northern Hennepin County. We will just have to see how it plays out. Shift a little farther south, please!

  12. I am cautiously optimistic for an inch of snow tonight for the metro. Latest guidance is calling for essentially nothing burgers for Wednesday (no surprise) and now next weekend (a bit of a surprise). Realistically, the metro could very easily be nothing but continued bare ground this time next week. Maybe something will go awry and it will actually snow in the metro. One can only hope!

  13. I was too optimistic about last night’s snow. I am in the Crystal area and we did not get 1 inch of snow. We got about half an inch of snow. Beggars can’t be choosers I guess.

  14. I am not a big Paul Douglas fan, but he does have a saying that I believe rings true. That saying is, “when in a drought don’t predict rain (or snow.)”

    1. Agreed Schnee Meister. And yeah, Tim, I was, too, optimistic and just hoping so much for way more. But hey, it's only Feb 3rd, so let's see what we can add for snow on the blog page this month.
