Some days are long, some days are stressful, but everyday I get to work with some pretty awesome people.

Today, we shot video for our holiday promo…and as you can see, we had a blast doing so.

OUR NEXT SNOW MAKER: Snow lovers, get ready! More snow is on the way come this weekend.

Right now, its too early to throw out accumulation ranges. We still have a fairly big spread on outcomes across the models. Tomorrow, we will get some additional model data that should help us zero in on a range. Either way, accumulating snow is expected late Saturday into Sunday morning.

HEADS UP TOMORROW: With the frigid temperatures expected, steam fog will be possible. This occurs when the water temperature is much warmer than the air temperature. As of last check, the water temp of the Mississippi River is 34-36 degrees. The steam fog could reduce visibilities, and also freeze on surfaces, causing icy conditions.

BRUTAL COLD: It feels more like early January than early December! Get ready for a big arctic blast. When we wake up Thursday, temperatures will be below zero, with feels like temperatures near -10.

The official totals are in…this one was definitely a doozy! I expected a little bit more out of the deformation band, which is the band of snow on the back end of the low, but we still ended up within range of the forecasted 8”-14”.

Just outside the viewing area, some cities picked up over 15” of snow.

More snow is likely Monday night, with an additional 1”-2” of accumulation possible.
