Heavy Snow in Pine, Minnesota

Snowfall was heavier than expected across the northern part of the county where enhancement from Lake Superior was observed. Totals were generally under 6 inches, but far northern areas received 6 to 9 inches with a high report of 9 inches near Kerrick.

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.
