You know it's mild on the eve of December when you have to go all the way north to Ely to find a few stray snow flakes. That's excatly what MPR reporter Tom Weber did today. Okay, he was after an education story, but he's just the kind of guy who will send his weather buddy a few photos when he sees weather.
A brief burst of snow hit Ely around lunchtime today. Visibilities were reduced to about .25 mile at times, and it looks as if the snow laid down a coating of an inch or so.

Mild Again Eslwhere:
Outside of Ely and the far northeast, the unseasonably mild November weather continues. Grand Forks is basking in 47 degrees Monday afternoon. Temperatures are in the lower 50s in southwest Minnesota. Southern Minnesota can expect to squeeze one more mild day ahead of the season's strongest cold front which will plow southward by Wednesday.
