In #Minneapolis the rule is never plant most things until after June 1st. Temps can dip below 40 degrees at any time before then. I think we're starting to push that back a couple weeks but not last year, planted a couple peppers a week early it bit me in the ass, stunted. #mnwx 🌱
The sound the planes are making is definitely taking on a different tone with the storm right now, muffled a bit. #MSP #mnwx
At least #MSP still has not shut down yet, still getting planes out tonight. #minneapolis #mnwx

Cracking up at this in the NWS #mnwx forecast discussion on why they have a blizzard warning:
“In addition, when the common citizen looks out the window
Sunday morning (ie. not the blizzard purist!), they'll likely say,
yup, this is one heck of a blizzard.”
Your semi-regular reminder that a Twin Cities weather feed exists and you can pin it up top for easy access and updates.

How do Minnesotans deal with a forecast of 18 to 24 inches of snow?
Head to St Pierre Steakhouse and have some chocolate cake and Tattersall Amaro, obvs. 😎

Wind gusts will be strong throughout the storm system's passage through the Northland. Gusts of 30 to 45 mph are likely across the region from the east and northwest Saturday night through Sunday evening. They will then shift to the north Sunday night and remain strong through Monday morning.
The North Shore region of the Northland is under a Wind Advisory from 7 p.m. Sunday, March 15, 2026 through 1 p.m. Monday, March 16, 2026. Wind gusts of 45 to 55 mph are possible from the north. The advisory could become a High Wind Warning if gusts of 60+ mph become likely.
Regardless of how much #snow you so, everyone will have to deal with strong #winds as the #storm system passes through.
#Gusts of 30 to 45 mph are likely for all, but they will get stronger Sunday night for the #NorthShore once they shift to the north.

As of the evening of March 14, 2026, the winter weather alerts in the Northland for the upcoming storm system include a Blizzard Warning for Ashland, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Gogebic, Iron, Ontonagon, Pine, Sawyer, and Washburn counties. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for southern Aitkin, Carlton, and southern St. Louis counties. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for northern Aitkin and southern Lake counties. These areas are the most likely to see a period of heavy snowfall rates and strong winds, creating near whiteout and blizzard conditions. These alerts run from late Saturday evening through Monday morning, March 16, 2026.
The highest forecasted snowfall totals include 12 to 24+ inches for the areas of Ashland, Gogebic, Iron, and Ontonagon counties away from the Lake Superior shoreline, as well as most of Sawyer and Washburn counties. Other snowfall totals include 10 to 20 inches for the rest of northwest Wisconsin, 8 to 16 inches for the I-35 Corridor, 5 to 10 inches in the Twin Ports, 2 to 6 inches for the southern section of the South Shore and the Iron Range, and under 2 inches for the Rainy River Basin and Boundary Waters regions.
Due to the combination of heavy snowfall rates and persistent strong winds, the winter storm severity index is in a major impact category for portions of northwest Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula, with moderate impact extending across the rest of these regions. This means travel is not advised during the storm system's impact in the area, and could be dangerous to do so.
BLIZZARD OF '26, ROUND 3!
Thanks to a shift in the #storm system's track, parts of the #Northland will be seeing heavy #snow and strong #winds Saturday night through Monday.
#Blizzard conditions are likely south of Highway 2, with #snowfall totals possibly […]

Cyndy Brucato delivering the news on @kstptv.bsky.social in March 1985 after the 3-5 Snowstorm. That was the last time we had a really big dumping in March, and it actually happened twice, as we got another 14 inches on March 31, 1985 www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgXq... #mnwx
We seem to be pretty far ahead of schedule on the moistening and erosion of the local dry air, as we have mutiple 20 dbz+ snow bands on radar. I have also observed a temperature drop to below freezing and a significant RH increase in the last 30 minutes #mnwx #wiwx #TwinCities
Snow starting to coat the lawn and roads in 55355 (Litchfield) 5pm. Slated to get 12-18 with northern track of storm. Hope it’s a bust - ready for spring!! #mnwx
First time I can remember a Blizzard Warning issued for all of the NWS-MSP warning area counties. I’m coining it now: Pi Day Blizzard™️! #mnwx #PDB

#BewareTheIdesOfMarch We're finally settling our debt, the one where we haven't had a decent #Snowstorm in the #TwinCities in close to a decade. #mnwx #Blizzard
Sounds like it is running close to the March 1985 storm! Fun! I love storms like this especially when they fall on a weekend so people can enjoy them. #mnwx
Blizzard Warnings have been issued across all of southern Minnesota from tonight through Sunday Night as a historic March snowstorm is on the way. Meteorologist Daniel Kayser has the latest details as of 3:30 PM Saturday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuSD99JoLyY #mnwx #blizzard
( #NWSTwinCities): ***HISTORIC MARCH #BLIZZARD THIS WEEKEND***
BLIZZARD WARNING updated to include ALL of eastern #Minnesota & western #Wisconsin - including the Twin Cities
Travel will be very difficult to nearly impossible by early Sunday morning. #MNwx #WIwx
Blizzard Warning issued March 14 at 1:08PM CDT until March 16 at 4:00AM CDT by NWS Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN Counties: Stearns; Benton; Sherburne; Isanti; Chisago; Wright; Hennepin; Anoka; Ramsey; Washington; Carver; Scott; Dakota; Goodhue ...BLIZZARD WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 10 PM THIS EVENING TO 4 AM CDT MONDAY... ...HISTORIC MARCH WINTER STORM ON TRACK TO BRING EXTREME SNOW ACCUMULATIONS AND STRONG WINDS... ...A WINTRY MIX OF RAIN, FREEZING RAIN, AND SLEET LATE TONIGHT ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA... ...TRAVEL MAY BECOME IMPOSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY... .A historic March winter storm will move across the Upper Midwest starting this evening and lasting into Sunday night. Heavy snow with a broad area of 12 to 18 inches expected across central Minnesota and western Wisconsin. A narrow swath within the broader area may approach 2 feet in parts of far east central Minnesota and west central Wisconsin. Rates of 2 to 2.5 inches per hour are likely late tonight into Sunday morning. A wintry mix of rain, freezing rain, and sleet is expected to work north into I-90 corridor of southern Minnesota tonight. A half inch of sleet and a tenth of an inch of ice are expected along the I-90 corridor. The wintry mix will turn to all snow Sunday morning. Winds will increase on Sunday. Even though the snow will be tapering off gradually throughout Sunday, northwest winds will increase to 35 to 45 mph. Some gusts of 50 to 55 mph are possible across the Minnesota River Valley. The combination of falling snow, blowing snow, and gusty winds will reduce visibility and create blizzard conditions late tonight through Sunday evening across central and southern Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Travel is expected to become very difficult or impossible late tonight through Sunday evening. In addition, the amount of water in the snowpack will make it very heavy, leading to the potential for infrastructure damage and a health hazard for those
I don't remember the last time we had a blizzard warning in urban areas. There'll be a brief period of extremely heavy snow + winds gusting to 45mph. Definitely plan to cancel everything for the next 24 hours in the Twin Cities and western/NE Wisconsin. #mnwx #wiwx
