Blizzard conditions are occurring in and especially South of Lakes Country in West Central MN. As more snow accumulates, I expect conditions to significantly deteriorate.

Guess I need to start digging into the private sector to look for opportunities. Pathways seems to be a no go. I received notice that my local NWS office is no longer taking volunteers after submitting my application. I've got a bit more than a year left of school and am terrified of the job market.

Watching the systematic dismantling of federal programs and services in real time has been incredibly disturbing. To my friends in the federal work force who are at risk, words cannot express how much I'm grieving for you. You matter, and your impact is meaningful to me and so many other people ❤️❤️❤️

Impressive cold in Pennsylvania this morning, with my hometown of York, PA recording a bitter -12⁰F at the York/Thomasville regional airport. Anecdotally, I can't recall a single time from my childhood where we got that cold. #PAwx

Incredible whiteout conditions near Hallock, MN. Photo was taken around 10:15am, but conditions are persisting if not deteriorating. Am now safely in Hallock. Winds are easily gusting over 60MPH. This FROPA is MEAN. #MNwx #NDwx

Rough road conditions in the Devils Lake Basin tonight. Some roads are completely covered in drifts. Heavier band of snow has now moved into the RRV. Expect snowfall rates to increase and road conditions to deteriorate.

To blizzard or not to blizzard, that is the question with the system that moves through tonight and tomorrow. Initally heavy snowfall rates with a thick DGZ in place by tomorrow afternoon is always something to watch. CAA is modest though, with PGF being the saving grace wind wise.

January-November 2024 temperature ranking compared to all January-November periods since 1895. A whole lot of red on this map. The Jan-Nov period this year is tied with the Jan-Nov 2012 period for the warmest on record. It's as if something has changed. 🤔

Optics season is here in North Dakota! Thick low level DGZ with pretty light wind in the first kilometer or so. Seeing lots of fine glittery snowflakes falling! Credit to @wxkylegillett.bsky.social for pulling the sounding. #NDwx #MNwx

First sub-zero temperatures of the season for some portions of the state this morning as recorded by @ndawnwx.bsky.social! With colder air to come, I expect nearly every station to be sub-zero by this weekend. #NDwx

Still all rain here in Grand Forks. Temperatures are warm, don't expect this to changeover in town any time soon. Higher terrain west of the Valley may see the switch over soon though. #NDwx #MNwx

GEFS ensemble mean snowfall totals have uptrended a bit today, particularly in the Eastern portion of the RRV. With models bullish on a strong NW wind by Wednesday, things are set up for some slight upslope enhancement on the east side of the Valley, and isolated brief blizzard conditions in NW RRV.

The trend is not our friend if you wanna see your first accumulating snowfall in the Red River Valley. Less upper level support and more warm air keeps the brunt of the snowfall locked up in Canada. Some FGEN banding support on deterministic GFS as low exits the region. We'll see. #NDwx #MNwx

I hope you guys can handle more comet pics! Seriously grateful for the relatively good stretch of weather we had here during its peak. #astrophotography #NDwx

Models are signaling the chance for a decent system next week across the northern plains and upper Midwest. Unfortunately, I'm noticing a gradual trend of the "three W's". West, Weaker, Warmer. Not good if you're a Red River Valley snow fan like me.

Throwback to May of 2023 in Western Wyoming. The smoke in the air made everything look and feel surreal. This was shot not too far from Jackson, WY.

Decent snow sounding in the Red River Valley of ND on Wednesday morning. Models are consistent on a system, but trending warmer. Could see a brief switch over before sunrise unless we continue to trend warm.
