Heavy Snow in Northern St. Louis, Minnesota

Snowfall amounts around the northern part of the county were generally around 3 to 6 inches. Locally higher snowfall occurred in the Cook area with a high report of 7 inches 6 miles north of town.

Low pressure moved from the Northern Rockies the morning of the 12th to the Upper Great Lakes the morning of the 13th and deepened as it moved east. This brought heavy snowfall to the region starting the afternoon/evening of the 12th and continued into the morning of the 13th. Snowfall totals of 4 to 8 inches were seen across the area with higher pockets of 7 to 10 inches plus, including a high report of 14 inches in Hovland. Additionally, strong winds off of Lake Superior led to a period of blizzard conditions along the North Shore into the Twin Ports.
