Happy Sunday and 150th day of winter! Friday night I went to a concert in Minneapolis and the snow started around 7 pm. By the time we were out of the concert, the roads were slushy because it was still slightly warm. As the night went on the snow continued, and it didn't let up until early this morning. We accumulated about a foot of snow and there were high winds yesterday causing blizzard conditions. I've added a couple of pictures of below during the snow storm.
As you can see, winter storm Xanto has affected much of the midwest. This is the 3rd heaviest April snowstorm on record in the Twin Cities/St. Paul area. The storm is still between two areas of low pressure, which is still giving the storm its power. Nimbostratus clouds were present as they create continuous precipitation.
Currently, there are still winds at 23 mph coming from the NNE. Today we are going to accumulate some more snow anywhere from 1-5 inches. The rest of the week still isn't too promising for Spring. We have temps in the 30's and 40's and possible snow again on Wednesday.
