Snowstorm Leaves a Trail of White in Minnesota

The heavy snowfall that swept across Minnesota this weekend has finally stopped, leaving behind a mix of impressive and modest winter layers.

Heavy Drifts in the Southeast

• Wabasha: 20.5 inches overnight
• Rochester: ~14 inches
• Prior Lake: ~13.7 inches

These areas reported the heaviest drifts, with many spots nearing a full foot of new snow.

Moderate Spread in the Capital Region

Bloomington was slightly lighter, missing about half an inch compared to its neighbors.

Sparse Snow North and West

Regions north and west of the main impact zone received little to no snowfall, keeping travel safer there.

Temperature Outlook

• Twin Cities: Mid‑teens on Monday, easing traffic as people clear roads.
• Southern Minnesota: Noticeable improvement in travel conditions by the end of the day.

Looking Ahead

A new weather system is slated to arrive late on Tuesday, but forecasters predict only a light layer of one or two inches.

These totals highlight how localized storms can create varied experiences across a single state, reminding residents to stay alert and adapt their plans accordingly.
