In his latest newsletter, weather guy Kenny Blumenfeld says snowstorm Round 1 “took a mild penalty from snowflake-formation issues”: “Given the air temperatures, you’d normally expect 1-2 more inches of snow from those quantities, but the really good snowfall-production mechanisms were pretty spotty, and were limited to the periods of heaviest snow, which is when you would have seen the largest flakes,” he writes. Expect a somewhat similar scenario in round two, he says, writing that 7 inches to 13 inches of additional snow is more likely, versus the 12 inches to 20 inches previously predicted. Blumenfeld, a senior climatologist with the Minnesota State Climate Office, says Round 2 is still looking like a severe storm.
