Impressive snowfall totals up north; coldest 2 weeks of winter ahead?
Tuesday's snow event delivered in spades across northern Minnesota. A big swath of anywhere from 4 to 10 inches of fresh powder blanketed much of northern Minnesota.
Further south about an inch, give or take a few flakes, fell across the Twin Cities. That was more than enough to slick up roads for rush hour Tuesday morning.
Southern storm track
The Twin Cities threaded the weather needle missing the bulk of both snow events Tuesday. That's good news for commuters. Cross country skiers and snowmobilers? Not so much.
