7” give or take a bit. Had this been a weather system two months ago, it would have been a foot! Stats for us this year put us at 49”, only slightly above average. This is the second consecutive year with a snowfall greater than 6” after Apr 1. We started at 47° last night and it’s 27° now. The snow will rapidly melt this week with daytime highs in the low 40°‘s, working towards 60°s Sa|Su.

We can’t stress enough to take heed to the warnings today. STAY HOME. Area roads are treacherous with ice and wet snow. Rosemount Police Department has made recent warnings about Hwy 3 being impassable south of Co 42. Not “Lakeville” but definitely our area.

Spring Update! We have turned over the website to "warm season mode", and removed snow totals. Fingers crossed, but we believe we have seen our last measurable snowfall. This season was a doozy -- 65.5" of total measured snow here! Most fell in February, of course. It did not break our station record from 2010-2011 of 88.5", however. Also, notably, it is short by a few inches, of the official snowfall measurements by the NWS at MSP airport.

The “S” has arrived! Snow/sleet/rain will dominate today and tonight as we are on the cold/back side of a low pressure system that will move from Srn IA to Nrn WI today, and then across Lk Superior overnight. The whole time spinning back winter precip to us. 1/2” slush on grass tops.

Lots of questions tonight re: sirens. Dakota County Emergency Communications Center. runs sirens in Lakeville. They will activate for areas of the county under tornado warnings or severe thunderstorms with sustained winds 70mph or stronger. The activations are localized as well — meaning residents in West St. Paul won’t hear sirens for a warning affecting only folks in Miesville. Here is the policy.

The most common and widely recognized method of warning is through the use of outdoor warning sirens. They are used by communities for a variety of purposes, including:

21/09/2018

A wet and wild day today. 2.39” of rain since midnight. Top wind gusts with strongest storms this evening estimated at 55mph.
