The winter storm is beginning to move out of the area however, snow continues to fall here in East central MN. It should taper to flurries by this afternoon. Snow reports are coming in anywhere from 13 to 19 inches from across the region putting this storm right in line with the December storm that dumped around the same amount. As I was typing that the power went out... a snow plow must have hit a power pole or something . As of this morning at 6:00 AM the season total stood at 73.6 inches at the MSP airport so far. This ranks 11th snowiest in Twin Cities history with the record standing at 98.6 inches for the 1983-1984 winter. We will probably will end up somewhere in the 90 inch range if March runs about average. Still tracking a severe weather outbreak later in the week for the lower Mississippi Valley region with damaging winds, destructive hail, and isolated tornadoes all being possible. Stay tuned for further updates. Have a great afternoon!

I plowed in a bobcat for 19 straight hours. Back for more in a few hours.
