How much snow?

[The_Duckslayer]

We got 9 inches so far and it is thick heavy schtuff as well. Still snowing and blowing like crazy out there! Drove home from WI last night and the last hour and a half was a real treat! Guess I'll go work on the driveway some more. Have a good one and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

40-50 mph winds down in Mankato. Just talked with a friend who said visibiity in some spots is practically zero.

We drove through some heavy snow/sleet all the way from Little Falls to Coon Rapids lastnight on our way back from LOW.

This morning at 2am we didn't have anything on the ground other than a dusting, and then around 7am when I woke up we had several inches and it hasn't stopped since.

Looks to me like my travel plans are going to have to wait until tomorrow morning

Oh well, at least there's still FM

Matt -

Got any ideas how this snow and front will affect the pannies? Will it force them out deeper?

Being not far from you, we're experiencing the same weather. 7" - 9" of snow, still snowing at 10:00am (and blowing). None of the people who live out of town and work here made it in today.

Weather statement said 12 inches here as of 8:30. There is more than that on the deck now!! It is being awfully hard on the trees in my yard and the woods. Why couldn’t we have gotten this back when we could’ve used it??

[Matt Johnson]

This weather should throw off the pannies a little. I would expect them to hold more tight to the bottom. If they've already moved into their shallow water patterns then they will stay in those areas, but I wouldn't expect a lot of action. But then again, this winter has thrown quite a few curveballs at us, and the pannies could be going crazy right now... I've come to the conclusion that there are no rules this winter

mn dot weather station says 6.44 inches and i know there was twice that inmy driveway. the poor old sno pup got one heck of a work out. two tanks of gas in two hours. bummer is the plows have to come thru again. so there will be that drasted plow ridge to reshovel. @#$%^&*()_+. enjoy it while it lasts. next ya know it will be tooooo hot again. man i love winter!!!! ..... paul

Don't give Greg over there in Lester Prairie too hard of a time! I agree though, we definitely got more than 6.5" of snow!!!

Matt -

Thanks for the info. I might give it a go this Saturday in the shallows and see what happens.

Just went out and cleaned another 4 to 5 inches off the driveway depending on where ya measured it. That makes better than a foot of snow. Can hear snowmobiles all around the outside of town. Wish that I had one of those snowmobiles I would pull the Yukon out this afternoon and see where the pan fish are. Know what you mean about the ridge, my lil snow thrower does not do snow plow ridges so it was time for the scoop shovel. Lots and lots of very heavy snow packed in there but it is done now. There is still some blowing going on but the driveway is now just wet. Should be fun when it freezes tonight. Have a good one and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

[tonyjor]

We got about an inch in St. Cloud. I guess it all went south of here....

13 in in sw mn

Maybe 3-4 inches here in Duluth but heavy wet stuff, pain trying to plow it up when it is stuck to dirt since the ground is soft again.

[Dotch]

8 - 9" in and around greater Bugtussle. Chores that usually take an 1 1/2 hrs. took an extra hour tonite including time to get things opened up. Not frozen underneath so was easy to take out large divots with the tractor and loader. Wind is still howling pretty good out there but should go down by midnite. Hopefully it won't completely fill in the cleaned out areas by morning. Tuckered out. Should take a nap before going out to the barn at 10.

We got atleast a foot here in Hugo. Nice heavy snow. I have a snow blower that I could not keep running this year. Every time I needed a breather I would look at that blower and start laughing.
