Quiet Weather

Aside from an occasional disturbance passing to our southwest along this year's dominant storm track from the eastern Dakotas through southwestern Minnesota, the weather will be mostly quiet over the next couple weeks. Temperatures will generally fluctuate around or slightly below seasonal averages for this time of year with highs in the 20s and lows in the single digits above and below zero.

Snow depths this year have benefited greatly from the lack of major warm spells and the high moisture content of the snow that has fallen (which results in less settling of the snow). Snowfall has been below average from Grand Rapids through Virginia and Ely, near average in International Falls and Duluth, and much above average over western and southern Minnesota. Despite below average snowfall in much of the KAXE area, snow depths are pretty close to average.
