We’ve had steady snow since about 10:30 a.m.\u00a0 It began to pick up after dark and we now have a couple of inches or more; the leaves have disappeared.\u00a0 The rocks have become snowy bulges as the wind whips what snow has fallen from place to place.\u00a0 The warnings have expanded their scope and increased their estimation of snowfall amounts, here in Anoka County we may see 6-8 inches.<\/p>\n

Though these numbers may not fit the technical definition of a blizzard, falling\/blowing snow with visibilities under 1\/4 mile for at least 3 consecutive hours, sustained winds over 35 mph, but if you happen to get on a road filled with blowing\u00a0 snow, as you well might, the difference will not mean much to you.\u00a0 Translation, travel will be dangerous tomorrow.\u00a0 If you\u00a0 don’t have to go, stay put.<\/p>\n
Paul Douglas says he does not see above freezing weather between now and December 25th, so he’s predicting a white Christmas.<\/p>\n
The barometer has a steep downward trajectory having fallen .6 of an inch Hg since midnight, very near the mark for bombogenesis which I mentioned in a post early.\u00a0 This is the equivalent of 20 millibars in just under 24 hours and the definition of bombogenesis is a drop of 24 millibars in 24 hours.\u00a0 The winds have gusted here already to 24 mph and may go much higher, probably will go up to 35 mph or 40 mph.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
