I've got the same view. I'm starting to question why I live in MN....

Our kids are in school, otherwise we would move.
I'm pretty convinced of it at this point.

Tomorrow I'm doing a butt on the firecraft, snow or no snow.

Supposed to end late tomorrow

They are saying 16-24†in some areas by the time we are done.
-
Still going strong here. Over a foot so far.

But is it a dry snow Al? ;)

No. It's wet and heavy stuff.
I just got done snow blowing the driveway and had to do a double pass with the snowblower on low speed.
Thick, heavy, wet, icy xxxx.
It's a bear.
March and April snow is always wet and heavy.

Pro is holding up. Will have to take the back off & see if the wind packed snow into the fans through the louvers. Happened once before.

I’m told we have more measurable snow coming Wed. Can’t wait.

Getting pounded in central WI as well.

Like some 30†in areas north of you. Lucky I’m in California on business I don’t want to come back to see that .

Gorebal warming at its finest. ::)
Nuttin but rain here in the PNW. Much like any other 9 months of the year...
-
Day 2.
-
Just lots of rain down here in MS on my visit. Hopefully, all that stuff is gone before I fly back to Chicago on Monday and back home to PA on Thursday.

For you all that have lived there a long time...So how unusual for this much this time of year? Once every 25 years, 10, 5?
-
It’s rare. In 1984 we had a big storm. Big enough that it ripped a hole in the Metrodome.
They are calling this one historic.
-
Was that...that long ago, I remember it, did not think it was that long ago!
-
Yesterday morning I had so much heavy snow on the cover of the hot tub I was surprised it didn't collapse. Never seen so much! Not so bad today but still snowing & will continue for another 15 hrs. Looking at 30 inches or more. They even cancelled Church here in Central Wisconsin! Can't ever remember the last time that happened.
I even ran my small Honda Generator just in case I needed it. It would at least run my Pellet stove & the TV! :D
High on top my gratitude list today is a good working snowblower & A hot tub cover that didn't collapse

You're probably thinking about 2010 when it collapsed and what caught on camera. It has actually deflated 4 or 5 times. But the 1983 was in April and from snow.

In my 61+ years here in the Puget Sound region, the latest snow I can recall was a long time ago (decades) when it snowed on Moms B-day. April 23'd. We are currently at 120% (and climbing) of the average snowpack for the year. Yet, our city/county/state 'leaders' want to tax us to eliminate climate change.
I'm curious if all the folks in Mini Soda would benefit if the folks in WA sent them $1.00 each. Would that help yer conditions? Or just buy half a dozen pencils to write on yer calendar about the weather...

Omaha—three inches or so thru' the night. Wind still blowing hard. It's December 115th!
Actually, the theory is that global warming is putting more moisture in the atmosphere, it moves around and falls as snow or rain. Remember that Dennis Quaid Ice Age movie, The Day After Tomorrow? It was based on a global warming book, The Coming Global Superstorm, by Whitley Streiber and Art Bell. The premise is that greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and methane, are to blame for heating the Earth's surface and compensating cooling must occur in the upper atmosphere.
-
Yes, the North Atlantic sea had increased by like 5°, which would be major and that in turn I believe make the super cells that blanketed the globe...
-
Yeah, Mother Nature has been pounding us. Here is my Memphis Pro on the deck. And it's STILL snowing here....in APRIL!

“Theory†being the operative word. They fail to take into account sun cycles. And until they are able to get China and India to cut back their efforts mean nothing.

Still snowing and now we’re smokin’
Had to dig it out but I’ve got a nice snow bank wind break.
-
Now that is some Tractor Snow!
-
Did a pork butt in the snow today on the firecraft.
Good results. Held temp fine with a welding blanket. Took it off at the end because the blanket was soaked from melted snow so I wasn't sure if that was helping or hurting.
It's unusual for us to get this much snow this late in April. March is usually our snowiest month, and this is strange that we have this much snow now.
It's wet and heavy stuff.
-
Snow is supposed to end around 2AM. Should not have any trouble getting to work in the morning as the roads are open.

If you live in the center of Minneapolis, how far would you have to drive your trailered snow mobile to be able to ride?

I remember pictures when my dad was alive of a 17†storm on his birthday which was April 7th and I never seen anything like that ever again till now. I believe the pictures were from 1965.

15-20 minutes depending on which direction you went.

This is my brother's deck. He lives about 5 miles north of me.

My daughter's school has a trip to Chicago today... that's like a 5 hour drive when the weather is nice. On my 25 minute drive to work today, there were two big accidents , and when my wife called about a hour later she indicated her drive was even worse. We barely had any snow, just enough to cause a glaze of ice on the roads after cars drove over it... hopefully my daughter and her class make it to Chicago safely and it's not like absolutely miserable to be there.
