1″ to 10″

Our Easter weekend snowfall quite literally ranged from 1.3" in Forest Lake just north of the metro to 10" at Red Wing to the south.

Here we go again.

The range with our next system may not be so extreme, but all indications are that we'll see another big snowfall gradient from north to south across the metro. The computer models have been all over the place in the past 48 hours with this system. That's what we call in the weather business, a "low confidence" forecast.

The latest "ensemble" models paint the heaviest snow bull's eye south of the metro from Redwood Falls to Rochester. That's different from last night when they put it right over the Twin Cities. One model suggest the Twin Cities could see heavy snow, while another says it will all stay south and we get skunked. That would be okay with me, by the way!

There are two more major model runs before the snow starts flying late tonight or tomorrow morning. Let's see how much flopping around they do.

The one thing that seem like a sure bet is, if you are driving south on I-35 tomorrow, plan on snow.
