Updraft: November 7, 2008 Archive

Snow will not last......at least for now

First significant snow of the season was observed Friday morning across many southern and central counties. Though amounts ranged up to 5 inches the warm soils will not allow the snow to remain long. Update reports can be found at the NWS-Chanhassen Office

Soil freeze up is likely still weeks away despite a forecast that calls for below normal temperatures to dominate at least through the 21st of the month. By that time, about a week ahead of Thanksgiving, the ground may be cool enough to allow accumulating snow across most of the landscape.
