Heavy Snow Overnight

Happy Christmas Eve!

We were/are out plowing last night in the impressive snowfall. I haven’t seen this much snow since I was in college at Iowa State. There were a couple of very heavy bands that came through and the sidewalk would have one inch of accumulation on it by the time we got to the other end.

Most were having visions of sugar plums during the heavy snow, so here is some video of the very pretty snow while Quercus was out working.

We have a break in the snow until this evening when it is expected to pick back up in earnest dumping another 8-12″ through Saturday morning.

Official total so far (latest reported at 8:30 am):

• Prior Lake – 8.2″ (I measured the same in Shakopee)
• MSP Airport – 5.2″
• Chanhassen – 6.2″
• St Paul – 5.8″

We are certainly on track for the 16-22″ the NWS is expecting for us.

Have a great day!

Uh-Oh…Major Christmas Snow?

Good morning,

Gooseberry Falls in Winter

We are looking at and watching a major snowstorm that is aimed at Minnesota for Christmas Eve through the day after Christmas. It appears now to be packing a foot or more of snow over those three days. Much can change between now and then, but it’s not a bad idea to start thinking about it now.

Quercus, Inc. provides our snow clients with a bevy of information about future and past snow events. Here is our latest Wrap Up email following Sunday’s snow. You can find more information at Quercus, Inc.’s Snow & Ice Management Journal.

A small event is working its way through the area tonight leaving an inch or so of snow between midnight and noon tomorrow.

Have a great day!
