"From Historic Freeze to Supersized Thaw: US Weather Set for Wild Temperature Swing"

A supersized January thaw is expected to melt most of the snow cover across Minnesota by late next week, with temperatures reaching the 30s and possibly even the 40s or 50s in some spots by early February. The weekend will bring cold temperatures, but the milder Pacific air mass will lead to a significant warm-up, accompanied by sunshine, and an increase in daylight as Minnesota moves past the darkest months of winter. However, historical patterns of snow and subzero cold in February may not hold true this year.

Potential Impact of Severe Winter on Deer Hunting Season

The upcoming deer hunting season in northern Wisconsin may be more challenging due to a severe winter that dumped heavy snow, making it harder to find deer. Additionally, more hunters are choosing to stay closer to home, increasing pressure in the southern and central parts of the state. Harvest rates have lagged in some areas, but counties less affected by snow cover could provide better hunting options. Weather conditions, such as snow cover and visibility, play a significant role in hunting success. The season is also the earliest it can be, which could elevate deer activity. Safety reminders and chronic wasting disease testing remain a priority for the state.

Winter 2023-24 Forecast: Clues from Russian Snow Offer Insight for US

Meteorologist Judah Cohen uses the amount of October snow cover in Siberia to predict the severity of winter weather in the central and eastern United States. The expansion of snow cover in Siberia reflects more sunlight back into space, resulting in colder air that can potentially bring more snow to the US. This connection has been accurate about 75% of the time over the past two decades. Siberia's snow does not typically affect the winter forecast for the western US due to geographical factors. Cohen's winter weather forecast for the US will be posted on his blog in late November.

Decades of Satellite Data Reveal Northern Hemisphere's Snow Cover Shifts

A new study analyzing satellite data from 1967 to 2021 reveals that snow cover in the northern hemisphere is declining in nearly twice as many areas as it is advancing. The data shows a receding trend in the Arctic region and southern latitudes, while some areas like Eastern Canada are experiencing increased snow cover. The study, considered the first reliable analysis of snow cover trends in the northern hemisphere, highlights the importance of understanding snow's role in the global energy balance and its impact on regional temperatures and habitats. The research will serve as a resource for the scientific community and was supported by funding from the National Science Foundation.

Northern Lights Illuminate Skies Across US and Canada

There is a chance of seeing the northern lights in northern Minnesota on Friday night, with a possibility of glimpses in southern and central Minnesota. The weekend weather will be dry in most of Minnesota, with temperatures in the 30s and 40s. Some parts of northern Minnesota, western Minnesota, and northwestern Wisconsin may see light snow showers on Saturday. Most of Minnesota still has plenty of snow cover for winter activities, with snow depths of 18 inches or higher in much of the northern half of the state. The official Twin Cities high temperature has not reached 50 degrees this March.
