Our weekend begins with areas of fog. Saturday temperatures will be near normal or a bit above normal in most of Minnesota. There is plenty of snow cover in most locations; we have the latest Minnesota snow cover map.
Snow totals from this latest storm are highest in southeastern Minnesota and portions of Wisconsin. We have updated snow totals, plus a look at our weekend weather.
The majority of snowfall accumulation is done but we’ll see an additional 1 to 2 inches, even 3 for some areas through the morning and midday Thursday. Light snow showers will diminish through the afternoon with cooler temperatures Friday moving in.
The Twin Cities surpassed the seasonal average of 51.2 inches — with a total of 52.1 inches at the airport so far this winter. St. Paul’s snow emergency parking rules begin at 9 p.m. Thursday.
The good news around these recent storms: The Twin Cities has recorded more then 5 inches of liquid equivalent moisture since Nov. 1. That’s erased about half of our precipitation deficit of 10 inches going into this winter.
