Heavy Snow January 4, 2022 – January 5, 2022 · Southern Lake, Minnesota

What the National Weather Service wrote

The wider storm

An area of low pressure moved from the Central Plains to northern Lower Michigan on the 4th into the 5th. This storm track brought an area of heavy snowfall to parts of northeastern Minnesota starting the evening of the 4th before lingering into the afternoon hours of the 5th. Most of the region received under 6 inches of accumulation, but lake-effect snow along the North Shore of Lake Superior at the beginning of the storm contributed to higher snowfall totals in that area of 6 to 8 inches.
