Snowfall totals for Cook County: WTIP Station – 6 inches County Road 7 – 6-7 inches Good Harbor Hill – 9 inches Lutsen – 5.5 inches Tofte – 8-9 inches Mid-trail of the Gunflint near Poplar Lake – 3.5 inches Seagull Lake – 2.1 inches Reservation River in Grand Portage – 9 to 10 inches Hovland – 7-8 inches Lake County Finland – 9.4 inches Silver Bay – 7.8 inches An additional 2 to 4 inches for most areas is currently falling. I think the NWS forecast also notes a 5 to 9 inch total further inland from about American Point west to Lac La Croix. It's also coming down pretty heavy in the Twin Cities this morning. |

I would say the forecast was accurate. It's a three day event but not dramatic. I'm grateful for the moisture!! |

AlexanderSupertramp: "Yikes, looks like I too will not be attempting an overnighter that I had planned. Maybe the following weekend. If it's cold enough maybe things will be in decent shape." If we get that much snow and ice now is down to 14 inches or less, the lakes will be pure water slush on top with holes created by water coming up through the ice. An absolute mess. |

Pinetree: "AlexanderSupertramp: "Yikes, looks like I too will not be attempting an overnighter that I had planned. Maybe the following weekend. If it's cold enough maybe things will be in decent shape." Maybe I will roll the dice and go up this Saturday for one night, forecast right now says snow not starting until Sunday afternoon, which gives me time to get home. Of course, that could all change and I really hate wind. Backup plan is Mom's property across the river in WI, close to home. |

tumblehome: "Well this is interesting. Here are snow estimated forecast totals as of Friday AM. Let's see where this ends up. Pinetree wins with 16-31 inches forecast. Yes that one is scary 18-31 inches at top . I can handle 18,but 31 inches that is going to be hard on my pine trees. Most have us at around 16 inches. But like the past it gets that high nobody knows where it will end up. Got snowshoes and skis ready, going to grocery store this morning. Maybe I can send the snow to Ben in Nashwauk> |

On average 13 inches of snow equals 1 inch of rain. Northern Minnesota and Southern Ontario are going to need a lot more snow and rain to help with present drought conditions. |

plmn: "So far another overhyped dud here in Western MN. Quite a nice day to be outside, a light snowfall of a few inches with mild temps just below freezing. " Different story just an hour east of you. No school tomorrow already in Perham. Even the DQ is closing, and I thought they were known for their Blizzards. |
