Winter Weather in Stevens, Minnesota

A quick burst of heavy snow brought a band of up to 0.5 inches, and reduced visibilities to 1/4 mile near I-94 and US HWY 59.

Convective bands of heavier snow formed, leading to narrow corridors of dramatically reduced visibilities and 0.5 to 1 inch per hour snowfall rates.
