For me, since born in 1986... I think here in East Central MN would be the Halloween Blizzard of 1991. Official totals neared 30 inches. Duluth area had much more in that storm.
Historically, probably the Armistice Day blizzard in 1940.. I know there was a big one in the 1970's as well.
This last spring, (our first weekend in our new house), we had an "unofficial" 22" -because I measured it with a tape measure- the first weekend... Then the weekend immediately following we got another 13". Pretty uncharacteristic for April. March is usually our snowiest month. Sure hope we get more snow this winter because we are REALLY low.
I guess on the upside we are looking at about a 70+ degree difference from today to Sunday. Last night the mercury hit -36 on my deck thermometer.. Wind chills probably closing in on -65 or so. Was cold enough while outside at work last night to feel the water in my eyes start to freeze if my eyelids were held open too long. Had a pipe burst on the inside of one of our buildings near a loading dock of the cafeteria. Flooded half of the cafeteria, warehouse, basement tunnel system, transformer rooms... The list goes on. Lucky we caught it when we did, but still a very big mess. We have a saying around here, though.... "'Bit chilly out there, ya know?"
They are saying 44 degrees and possible drizzle on Sunday.... Only in Minnesota.

Today's Featured Article - Measuring with Calipers - by Staff. The legs of inside calipers are curved outward at the extremities to facilitate measuring small holes, while outside caliper legs have a large curve inward to increase their capacity for large work. Firm-joint calipers are adjusted approximately by the hands and then set to the feel of the work by tapping them on a metal surface. It is a common practice when opening calipers by this means to tap the top of the joint. It is better, if possible, to tap the inside of the legs, as repeated blo
