Friday Evening Northland Forecast: 2/14/2025

Warmer Temps & Light Snow
Karl Spring,

We have had below normal high temps every day, since February 2nd. That’s 12 straight days below average high temps. And many of those days, we have been way below normal! We even had a frigid overnight low in Duluth of -26 degrees, just two mornings ago, on February 12th. Even though we will warm up toward 20 tomorrow, it…

Very Cold and Very Dry
Karl Spring,

There is a saying that sometimes it’s just too cold to snow. That’s not entirely accurate. It can practically snow at any temperature below the mid 30s. What is more of a factor is the origin of the airmass. Oftentimes, the winter storms that bring the most snowfall to the Northland come out of the panhandle of Oklahoma. They tap…

No big deal. Then, the high pressure came blasting in behind the storm system, and the pressure gradient between the low…

Winter Weather Advisories
Karl Spring,

We need more snow. At this point in the winter season, we should have had about 52″ of snowfall. We are sitting at 24″ in Duluth, some 28″ short of where we should be. It’s been cold enough for snow in the last couple months. It’s just been too dry. There’s been more snow in Iowa and up in Canada…

A Warmer Weekend
Karl Spring,

A week ago tonight, I was telling you about an Extreme Cold Warning that was imminent. From Saturday thru Tuesday, we fought off the coldest air of the winter. Overnight low temps got down to -20, and the accompanying windchills dove down to -50. It was a brutal 4-day stretch. And, that’s why I live here. It’s a challenge I…
