I have such contempt for this county. From November to April, it IS under a Blizzard Warning 85% of the time. Also, is it pronounced like Traverse City, MI or the Chevy Traverse? THIS IS WHY I NEVER SAY THIS COUNTY NAME EVEN THOUGH ITS IN THE VIEWING AREA!

Dang…pretty good height for some paper lanterns.

I think every Loons supporter expected this forecast when they heard the phrase “February 28th home opener” Accumulating snow chances are low. Plenty of cold.

“From 2011 to 2023, local news telecasts increased by more than 40%, and total hours grew nearly 50%.” Yeah, they’re asking us to do more with fewer people at the same pay! Please support local news in every form.

“Is this American Football?” “No, it’s WU LYF” Standard convos that make sense in our house.

This is cruel. Doesn’t it realize I woke up at 1:30 this morning?!

Roads are already MUCH better around the Twin Cities. I can count the number of accidents now.

Yep. Roads are icy. Each of those is an accident.

I’m trying to focus on driving right now, but holy crap y’all, the roads in the Twin Cities are going to be covered in ice for the next two hours

Just a little ice on the car

The moisture this morning is turning into more freezing drizzle than light snow. Why? Enough moisture to make tiny supercooled droplets, not enough moisture for ice crystals to grow. Roads could get slippery around the Twin Cities through midday.

If any slippery spots develop in the Twin Cities, I would expect them from 9-11 AM. The morning and afternoon commutes will be dry...but don't sleep on those gusty winds Tuesday afternoon!

A narrow line of snow and freezing drizzle moves through the Twin Cities Tuesday morning. Most of it is 9-11 AM. Very little sticks, but a couple roads could get slick AFTER peak commute times. This afternoon: WINDY! Gusts 30-40 mph are possible. Highs low/mid 30s.

I feel like I just unlocked a new gay achievement: Doing leg day while listening to Rufus Wainwright

Snow is back in the Twin Cities Tuesday morning. It will only be scattered snow showers. Very little to nothing will stick. Better chances of a dusting of snow in northern Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin.

I forgot how frantic morning news is (when you’re out of practice). Constant hits, different places, and I’m trying to have unique content for each.

Wait, we still do news at 4:30am?!

We meet again, Mr Bond

Oh, we’re getting WEIRD at the gym today. I like.

Ok now which player is about to kiss his secret boyfriend on the ice? I’ve been told this is how it goes.

WHOOOOOOOO! Holy crap 😭😭😭

She is not loving how stressed both dads are watching this game.

1000 times this. So stressful.

I don’t understand how Canada didn’t put that in. My word.

I think we’ve finally gone a full 5 minutes of game time without a stick on the ice.

Good luck Philly. You’re either getting a lot of snow or a historic amount of snow. (21” would be a top 10 all-time 2 day total)

Ngl, all I heard in my head was “the most Swedish Chef ass phrase” so I’m glad this is what came out.

Clocking out at 11:25pm Saturday. Clocking back in at 3:00am Monday. That’s gonna leave a mark.

This weekend’s edition of “why news is hitting at 10:45pm”

I forgot how The Joke just destroys me. Brandi sounds so good too.

Standard weather graphic title

I think my biggest disappointment in missing Brandi Carlile tonight at the Target Center is not getting to see the powerhouse Uninvited cover in person.

Math textbooks must scrub all references to the numbers 69 and 420

We take a turn toward more typical winter weather in the Twin Cities this weekend. Mostly cloudy, flurries from time to time, and temperatures in the 10s and 20s. This is a big change from the blowtorch of a February so far.

What if they made the entire hockey season out of state tournament weekend? God I love this time of year.

I ate a quarter of the dense af carrot cake that appeared in the newsroom this afternoon. It’s still there. Taunting me.

When I have 0.2 seconds to decide how far I want to push the envelope…

Colder, cloudy, and breezy Friday. You might see some flurries from time to time this weekend. Temperatures will be cold, but it will be good enough for some fun in the snow.

The final damage from yesterday and overnight. 7.6” officially at MSP. (Just like Carol’s gypsy woman said.)

If you haven't cleared all the snow around your place, make sure you do it this evening! Temperatures stay near/above freezing for several hours, then drop into the 20s. That snow will freeze by the morning. The next time we get above freezing is Tuesday.

I see you connections editor.

*squints very hard* N…nice? Nice.

Man, everything came together to have the most spectacular snow forecast bust (see: gif) in the Twin Cities in a while. Even the most dire models didn’t have it cooling and sticking so fast. Le sigh. I hope I was able to update y’all fast enough in real time.

4.0” of good snowman snow at the station.

If yall are near a tv, flip on channel 5 now (or go to KSTP.com and stream it) I have a forecast, but also Chris Long has the ending of a girls hockey game that started MONDAY and just ended tonight.

There will still be bands of heavy snow wrapping through the metro Wednesday evening. The worst will be in the south metro. Roads will stay slushy and slippery (1/3)

There’s the band of heavy snow setting up in the south metro. 3-4” totals are likely, but anywhere between 494 and Le Sueur/Northfield could see isolated 5-6” totals. Roads will be rough in the south metro, and winds in open areas will cause whiteout conditions.

You can see the steadier snow lining up from about 494 to the south. The south metro is still in line for 2-3” of slushy snow and slippery roads Wednesday afternoon.

Ik I have it better than so many others—and I’m grateful/thankful—but depression freakin sucks. I’m struggling so much this week I’ll be fine. I just needed to yell into the void.
