And this last radar screenshot (above) is from 4:57 this morning, also centered on Duluth, MN. The radar echoes continued to slide east out of the area.
I measured 3.9 inches of new snow, giving me 20.6 inches of snow currently on the ground.
I took this picture (above) as I was taking a core sample of the new snow.
My 3.9 inches of snow melted into a water equivalent of 0.38 inches of liquid... this produces a ratio of 10:1. Despite an average snow:liquid ratio, the warm temperatures have allowed the snow to become extremely packy and dense.
And lastly, snow reports from the region are in the chart below. I collected this information from the NWS in Duluth, Marquette, Green Bay, and La Crosse.
