This week (the week of the Feb 13th) we had picked up 2.25 inches of snow....The 13/14 was 1.25 inches. 15th we had 1.00 inches of snow.....Going back the 9th we picked up 1/2 the 10th we picked up 1.00.... So far this brings us to 3.75 inches of snow this month. At this time back in 2011 we have not had any snow > than 1/4 inch.....
The break down to this weeks snows so far...On the 13 we saw a weak area of low pressure pass to our South,meantime we also had a trof of low move in from the Northwest....There was a little more moisture with this system than thought.....Right on this system heals there was a Short-wave dropping out of ND into MN this moved into Southern Polk County then into Northern Dunn County before heading East/Southeast out of the FA....This Short-wave had enough lift and forcing to work with limited moisture to wring out a widespread 1/2 inch to 1.00 inch throughout much of my Central and into my Northern areas,meanwhile my Southern areas saw flurries that amounted to a dusting in a few areas.....
