Well, that sure was depressing... I haven't had such a sour forecasting experience like that one in a while. Just when I thought we were turning the corner from winter to spring, we go right back into, what looks like, a wintry junk of a mess this week - a classic spring storm.
Tuesday Forecast - A Little Bit of Everything - Mostly Rain for the Twin Cities
Wednesday Forecast - Wintry Mix Changes to Snow Early for the Twin Cities
I should know better; this is Minnesota and we're not even through the month of March yet, UGH. I guess this winter has gotten on my last nerve just as much as the next the person.
OK, so what are we in for? A series of Pacific storms will continue to rip across the Rockies, carrying copious amounts of moisture with them. Weather models print out over 1" of liquid through the week with the heaviest 'snow' blob over northern Minnesota.
The problem is going to be colder air temperatures, nearly 10F colder than average, which will allow the moisture to fall in a wintry mixed fashion. Tuesday starts the first event with mostly rain, but changes to all snow at some point Wednesday. The heaviest snow, up to a foot, looks to stay across northern Minnesota.

This is turning out to be quite a memorable winter, one I hope to soon forget. As Red Green would say: "Hang in there, I'm pulling for ya, we're all in this together." Enjoy your first full day of spring - Todd Nelson
