Minnesotans Arguing About the Weather IV: Niño or Niña, My Joints Stopped Trying

Providence, RI, has officially surpassed the snowfall totals from the Blizzard of 78 with 32.8" and counting. There are a few more hours of snowfall to go, but it appears to be slowing considerably.

I went out at noon to tackle the end of the driveway/Mt. Plow and we had a solid 10-12" here but it's so windy it's tough to tell what's the actual amount and what's windblown.
There's about 15" or so where I live, but agreed - with the wind blowing it all around it's kind of hard to confirm.
 
I looked, officially we're at 14". So a good, healthy storm but nothing major.

But man there was a small jackpot area that got mangled.
 
Mid coast of Maine, much ado about nothing. Looks like 3 or 4 inches of snow and some wind. Bet the clipper tomorrow brings as much snow. I'm sure off shore was awful I heard 25 foot waves so nothing to play with.
 
Yesterday was something else... There was about a 30*F temperature gradient over about a 50 mile span. I left work at 56*F and 13 miles later I got to my apartment at 46*F. A bit further North of me and you got into the low-40s. 30 miles South of work, where the Tornado in Kankakee, IL touched down, it was almost 70*F.

Seeing the videos of the tornado and the (baseball sized) hail were insane.
 
Got my wife on a plane to Austin and SXSW this morning despite the shit weather and witnessing a spin-out accident right in front of us on I-75 near downtown Detroit that we were nearly caught up in. Just before 6am, pouring rain, the usual traffic streaming towards downtown/GM and River Rouge/Dearborn/Ford, and some dumbass had a hot nut to get wherever they were going.

The car?

Dodge Charger. Did I even need to say it? :rolleyes:

Hope they're OK and learned their lesson (doubt it).
 
NAM and HRRR putting snow well into the northern burbs now and half as much as earlier.

Euro still forecasting 21+ right through the cities

I feel like they've gone way over on all the previous forecasts, so watch this one be correct. god dammit, is our little part of the cities supposed to get whacked as hard?
 
We moved to the Philippines in 2014 and even in the few areas where it's supposed to be occasionally cooler I've never once before felt cold. Today just now coming home from work I put on a sweatshirt, which I had to pull from a box in a closet.
 
I’m in Central America for the next 9 days, so I’m hoping the snow has melted from my driveway when arrive back home.
 
I love how the official NWS forecasts for Da Yoop are just talking in "feet" (2'-3') instead of inches.

Really reminds me of the Early April Blizzard in 2007 that set all sorts of single and multi-day benchmarks... Low key kind of glad NMU Men's BouncyBall didn't win the GLIAC and end up hosting their NCAA Regional. That would have been a mess.
