MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – One other month and one other milestone reached right here within the Twin Cities. With a further half-inch or so of snow early on within the weekend, the metro has now topped 10 inches of snow accumulation this month. This marks the fifth consecutive month that snow totals have been within the double digits (10 inches or extra) and that’s the first time in historical past, courting again to 1884, this has occurred.
It’s exceptional simply how constant and chronic our snow has been this yr. Not solely is it tremendous frequent to get greater than 10 inches of snow in our winter months of December by February, it is also anticipated. However our “fringe” months of November and March are sometimes extra hit and miss… and this can be very uncommon for each months to get double-digit totals in the identical season. This additionally reveals that our different big-time snow seasons, the place we topped 80 inches, had been largely due to a particularly snowy part of our season the place we had one or two “mega” months and far lighter snow within the different months.

The Twin Cities has had not less than 1 inch of snow on the bottom for 111 consecutive days.
Due to our persistent snow, we’ve had an equally persistent snow cowl. The Twin Cities has had not less than 1 inch of snow on the bottom for 111 consecutive days. That’s the Thirteenth-longest streak on document and is the longest stretch in 9 years. We shouldn’t have any drawback eclipsing 2013-2014 earlier than the top of the week, making it the longest stretch since 2001. The snowpack, although, shall be slowly dwindling within the days forward as temps are prone to get above freezing for some time every day.
So will we get a sixth consecutive month with double-digit snow totals? Properly, contemplating we’ve solely executed it 9 instances since 1884, the chances aren’t precisely in our favor. Nevertheless, two of these 9 events have occurred within the final decade. And with the longer vary trying round or under common heading into April, it isn’t out of the realm of risk, but it surely’s a protracted shot at finest.
