Friday Evening Northland Forecast: 1/10/2025

More Snow, Then Cold

We are about halfway through winter. That seems hard to believe, since we’ve hardly had any snow yet. I was pleased to see we got 1-2″ yesterday. But, I want more….lots more! I want a low pressure system to park itself over Lake Superior, and throw 1-2 FEET of snow our way! I keep looking at extended forecasts that go out 10 days, and I just don’t see that happening anytime soon. However, we do look to get an additional 2-4″ of new snow from late Saturday into midday Sunday. It won’t exactly be memorable, but it should least finish the task of covering up the frozen grass.

The average high and low for today is 20 and 3. We hit our high temp of 24 before the sun came up today. We have been cooling down ever since, with the passage of a cold front, moving northwest to southeast, across the Northland. You may have felt the strong NW winds come flying in behind the front, as the sun came up today. The wind was cold and biting. But, after things warm up a little bit this weekend (22 on Sunday), some much colder arctic air will visit us for 2 days. The high temps Monday and Tuesday will be 2 and 7. And, our lows will be below zero for 3 nights to start next week. We will also have strong NW winds again, bringing our windchills into the -20 to -30 range. Yikes! You know the drill…..dress in layers!

We will warm back up to the teens by Wednesday, and I’m anticipating a high of 30 by next Friday. Oftentimes, warmer air brings more moisture (like, for snow??), but currently, I don’t see any additional snowfalls coming after the few inches we get this weekend. But, believe me, I am looking!!

Have a great weekend, and enjoy the next few inches of new snow we get Saturday night, and Sunday. I’ll let you know when the next BIG snowfall is coming!
