How much snow has fallen in Minnesota?

A quick burst of snow has painted our brown landscape into a winter wonderland. The clipper system will keep moving southeast, reaching southern Minnesota and northeastern Iowa by late Thursday afternoon. After a brief lull in snowfall, wrap-around snow showers may bring another 1 to 2 inches along with blowing winds.

Light snow will linger into Thursday night, producing another 1 to 2 inches of snow. Gusty northwest winds between 30 to 40 mph will lead to blowing snow and windchill values falling below zero Thursday night into Friday morning.
