Heavy Snow in North Clearwater, Minnesota

Measurement of 6.8 inches of snow at Shevlin. A picture of the measurement was shared. This measurement represented the main storm total though light snow was still falling. Surrounding observations in nearby counties indicate that 6 to around 7 inches fell along the Highway 2 corridor in northern Clearwater County.

A clipper type system moved from the Pacific Northwest across the Northern Plains where it deepened and brought a period of light freezing rain less than one quarter of an inch followed by intense bands of heavy snow. The greatest impacts occurred where slick roads combined with heavy snow rates greater than 1 inch per hour causing near zero visibility across northeast North Dakota and parts of northwest and west central Minnesota. No travel advised was issued by the NDDOT with icy and snow covered roads reported by the MNDOT.
