Update on Snowfall Potential for January 11th & 12th

/in /by

Hey everyone- trying to avoid the hype here- and I know all of you are as frustrated as I am about none of these systems really panning out. After all- what is winter for in MN if we don’t have snow? I agree– very frustrating.

So- we saw this storm coming before it was even on shore- and now that it is- some things are coming into play more.

There’s a few technical things to consider, and when considering them, we have to look at model runs- which even right now, still have variables. So- with all of these complex factors in mind- snowfall forecasting ends up being very challenging, as each one of these variables evolves with each model run, and then there’s the realtime conditions when the storm actually moves in!

March 2014: The Blog is Back!

/in /by

Hello Friends and Followers!

I took a long absence from the blog (last post was October 2013), as I have had a very full plate, and the tail end of the schooling has consumed me.  I thought today would be a good day to bring it back to highlight the weather for the week ahead.  As many of you have also noticed, I had been working on getting my new graphics rolled out–snowfall charts, 7-day forecasts, etc.  Unfortunately the blog became a victim of the balance of time.

Meteorological Spring started on March 1st, but traditionally we have to wait until the third week of March, when the suns rays are directly over the equator.

Outlook for MN: First Snow Chances

/in /by

Hello-

You have probably been hearing of snow chances on your local news forecasts… and yes, it is looking more and more likely.

Change happens quickly in Minnesota this time of year.  We can go from late season severe weather to early season snowfall like the flip of a light switch.  For those of you that didn’t know, South Dakota and Wyoming have already been blasted by some early season snowfall–measured in FEET.  Some places got upwards of 4 or 5 feet, with drifts that buried homes, and killed over 100,000 animals/cattle.  We won’t see anything like that, but the first couple of snowfalls always seem to generate some buzz–and certainly some unwanted excitement on the roads.

September 2nd thru September 8th

Hello-
There has been a long gap in posts–my apologies. I have been mostly on Twitter due to my busy schedule. The weather tends to wind down a bit in the fall in the Upper Midwest. Aside from a few severe weather instances and the heat wave, things haven’t been terribly intense here. After a brief cool down on Sunday and Monday (Today)–we should begin to moderate again for the week. September–just like the month of March, happens to be one of our biggest changing weather months, when the Sun goes through it’s most rapid transition with it’s angle of inclination and solar radiation output.

Welcome to late September to early October temperatures!  Quite honestly, I didn’t even see this coming or think we could get this cold so soon.  But it’s here!  The perfect weekend to sit outside if you have a heat phobia, or the perfect weekend to get those random tasks done, so that you can enjoy our (hopefully) better weekends to come in good way, outside.
