Incredible.Well it all came at the tail end, I stand corrected:
How much snow fell in your area? See snowfall totals across Minnesota
Check out snowfall reports for this week’s winter storm, as reported by the National Weather Service on Thursday morning. Apple Valley saw 19 inches while Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport topped 10 inches.www.mprnews.org
Enjoy it while it lasts.

How about the weather on the west coast.
A beach in California getting snow all the way down to the lowest elevations.
Blizzard warnings in some areas there for the first time in 30 years!

Instead of EXPERIENCED weather forecasters, relying on history, weather balloons (c'mon, Joe, dont shoot me down!) jet stream, winds, and EXPERIENCE, they use the weather 'models' and when they all disagree, they use the 'blend'. Thier key word is 'guidance'. They are guided by fallible models. Daughter and I became weather spotters for the NWS years ago, me mainly to predict where the lake effect will fall on Tug Hill, as Id plan our rides. One friend decided to conquer the Hill and they spent all day stuck in 6 feet of snow after localized squalls, while we headed east in glorious 2 feet of fresh snow, towards Stillwater and rode 200 miles that saturday. They managed about 30 miles....historical weather...its happened before and wasnt called 'extreme'. Its gonna do what its gonna do.

Not once but now twice Mother Nature has given us pouring rain in February on top of our heavy snow pack. This time it’s actually 31 degrees but pouring like it’s 41 degrees. SMH!!

Yep, we have projected snowfall (not much but better than rain) the rest of the week.

We rode 250 miles over the weekend in Minnesota not one groomed trail. My Minnesota trail pass turned up missing off my sled. The Dnr around Hay Creek asked where it was. She remembered me from 4 weeks ago and let me go!

Only one place that I know of that they are wrong the other way with snow totals.. That's the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.. The U.P. !! Last week they said 4.9" we got 9-10 and some places just 20 miles away got 16" . LOL.. Had a few nights I went to bed in the U.P. and they said like 6-9" and we got 16-20! This does happen and its the only place that i seen it.

Of course this is also the place where some wait 10 minutes to gas at the pumps in Bergland MI.. And trails get destroyed in a few hours Friday, Saturday.

Problems of a different kind. We have 100 inches of settled snow on the ground and no above freezing temps in the forcast through the 13th of March. Also no sun!! Very hard to come by this year and very much needed for high speed riding in treeless places. We should be able to ride well into May.

Started snowing here today after 2:00
Quite a lot has come down, I would say there's a slight chance our local trails could open for this weekend.
