Minnesota weather: How the snow this year compares

You are not imagining it...there has been a lot of snow this season. At this point in January, we are above the seasonal average. If we pick up the average snowfall for the next 3 months, it would give us about 75 inches for the season. That would be a top 5 season since 1990 and a top 10 since 1980.

Wednesday offers another calm before more snow

An approaching storm system will bring snow showers Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Southern and Southeastern Minnesota specifically will see the most totals of accumulation, with 6 to 9 inches of snow possible.

Snow and rain ends Tuesday until later this week

Snow and rain accumulation are done for now, marking the end of the first storm this week. Minnesotans are now waiting on the second storm to make its way west, which could offer measurable amounts of snow in the southern portion of the state Wednesday into Thursday.

Monday brings rain, more moderate temps after cold and snow streaks

Monday morning might feel more like late spring or early summer than the middle of winter to some. Temperatures will be above freezing all day long, offering rain throughout the day for the Twin Cities during daylight hours, until evening which could switch to slight snowflakes.
