Weather chats with Mark Seeley

So far, this December has been warmer than average, but University of Minnesota meteorologist Mark Seeley says temperature dips next week could bring us close to normal for the month overall.
Why is snowfall more likely at night?
Precipitation in the winter is more likely to happen at night compared to the summer months. University of Minnesota meteorologist Mark Seeley explains why.
Quite a weather swing in November
The first half of November was very cloudy in Minnesota while the second half was quite sunny. The first two weeks of the month were the coldest since November of 1995 and the rest of the month was unseasonably mild.
November has traditionally been the cloudiest month of the year and that -- so far -- is true again this year. It's no wonder November marks the annual onset of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) or winter depression.
Statewide, this October was the 15th wettest in Minnesota history, with most observers reporting from 3 to 5 inches of precipitation.
What a wet October so far
The harvesting of corn and soybeans has been slowed or delayed due to wet weather this month.
