The mercury is climbing back toward bearable temperatues but winter isn’t over yet. According to the National Weather service, the big one is on its way.
The National Weather Service in Duluth has issue a winter storm watch for much of Minnesota, including the Brainerd lakes area, from late Saturday through Monday afternoon.
The watch includes Aitkin, Cass, Crow Wing, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Todd and Wadena counties, and stretches as far north as International Falls.
Early predictions are calling accumulation “significant” with 6 inches or more projected for the Brainerd lakes area.
The National Weather Service in Duluth said snow accumulations of 6-10 inches “looks pretty good” for the Brainerd area with some spots seeing up to a foot of snowfall.
The storm is expected to move in Saturday night with the heaviest snow falling Sunday afternoon and evening at 1-2 inches per hours. An addition inch of snow is expected Monday.
With snowfall, winds of 15-20 miles per hour are expected with gusts up to 25 miles per hour causing hazardous snow drifts, poor visibility and possible whiteout conditions.

Cycle. That stuff in Neb dont look to lethal. I really would like to see 20+ though. Maybe I could get a few miles on before I need another license & sticker. Due this summer.
I'm thinking we'll
only get 3 inches.
I don't need any
But I think the local economy could really use some.
Just hope it won't dump a bunch all at once and nothing the rest of the winter.
OFB-git 'er gassed up.
FnB-double it.
Snow
The govt needs to turn their weather machine (HAARP) up for the mid west like they have for the east coast. Hurricane, earthquake, and now most snow since 1978! Wow I think something Fishey about that. Anyone not familiar with HAARP I suggest you do some research. #newworldorder

We already have 3 inches folks.Been a long time since we got a good snow like this. Only thing is is I have a dentist appt in Brainerd tomorrow. I honestly don't want to miss this one. :(. Noooo I don't have a fetish for tooth pain or dentists...figured some smart arse would say something like that, lol.

At about 11:00 the wind came up and it's snowing hard now.

Yes---the weatherman finally got it right. I had my doubts up until about 11:00 a.m. I guess if you predict a decent snow fall 6 times you are bound to get it right once.
If ya aint tough &
