A very boring and uneventful winter here (MN) so far.
Cold January, above average February and about 12" of snow below average with about 2" on the ground where there is snow. The higher sun height and more daylight time is evaporating and not really melting the snow even on days down to 0F.
About 21F at 10:50 PM and going up during the night with light snow starting to give us a whopping snow fall of 1-3" by 9:00AM. - Messy morning driving, but nothing major.
We get the NW weather in the winter and not the moisture from the south. The Alberta "clippers" from the NW are not bad since come like they are train tracks and give us 2"-3" of light "sissy" snows and some cold dry air afterward.
It seems all the horrible winter storms end up south of the Great Lakes. They have shut down the skating shelters here and discontinued trying to maintain outdoor rinks, but that is not too important since there are so many indoor rinks for year around skating.
