Snowstorm

With our first snowstorm of the season here, it doesn't take Minnesota's biggest airport too long to get those runways clear again. Here's how they do it.

#Hilarious! Thanks to Charlie, at least I'll have a smile when my face freezes as I'm shoveling my driveway on Sunday. #SnowIsComing

You just endured - survived - enjoyed the snowiest winter since accurate weather records were first started in Duluth back in 1885. Today will bring high winds, serious icing and a changeover back to snow, with heaviest accumulation north and west of the Twin Ports.

We are fairly confident that 2-5" snow will fall on much of the Northland late Thursday and Thursday night, possibly enough to shovel and plow. A much more significant storm is shaping up for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, with potential icing and blizzard conditions. It's still way too early to predict specific inch-amounts, but looking at weather models it could be quite a pile...again.

It's already the 9th snowiest winter on record for the Twin Ports, and more snow is on the way for Thursday and Friday - probably plowable, not crippling, but the snow just keeps piling up in the Northland.
