The west continues to get much needed rain and snow, and it looks like that will continue for awhile.

Those places need to find ways to capture more of the flooding waters.
True dat!I had an important meeting today that was sheduled two months ago that couldn't be done on Zoom. I left the house at 10:30 and drove about 15 miles to my destination. It was not fun. I left the meeting at 1:30 to return home in near blizzard conditions. Made it to within about twenty feet of my garage door (my driveway has a modest incline). I spent the next hour and a half digging the car out and digging a path to my garage to get the damn thing in.
Only morons live here.
Our district's superintendent decided not to call off school or dismiss early on Tuesday. Parents are ticked off. Several buses in ditches, kids at the middle school were still waiting for their buses to arrive more than an hour after school ended, bunch of high school kids got stuck trying to get out of the parking lot (which hadn't been plowed). Initially had a late start today that was rather quickly moved to a school closure.No school here (Windom MN) on Tuesday or Wednesday.
at this rate, they're going to be going to class until July. A lot of schools have already used up all of their schedule snow days and e-learning days.
I shoveled Tuesday and Wednesday morning, and it's still snowing.
Are there only so many days that can be e-learning?No school here (Windom MN) on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Since we're going to see a triple dip La Nina, which is pretty rare, there's not a lot of data to go off of. The last two were snowier winters in the Upper Midwest, especially the last one in 00-01 with 76" of snow at MSP, and 100" where I was living in eastern SD. 75-76 saw around 55" at MSP. The only other one was 56-57 which was a little drier, with only 39" at MSP.
The most interesting thing to me is that the last two started early, with a lot of snow in Nov and Dec. We also had drier, warmer falls, until the switch flipped in Nov.
Overall I think we'll see below average temperatures with above average snowfall. I think we'll know where we are heading by the end of November though. If the pattern changes to more active in Nov and looks to continue into Dec, I think we'll see a lot of snow. If it says dry into Dec, I think we'll stay dry throughout the winter. We really need to start transitioning back to more neutral or El Nino conditions so that we can begin to chip away at the drought.
The only thing different is the temps? Been warm and looks like it will stay that way for at least the next two weeks. Could be a record warm month here in Wisconsin.I keep going back to this post and how closely we are following the 00-01 winter, which was the last triple dip La Nina. This winter has been very similar to that one so far.

Flooding could suck in spring but we really need it overall
