I think this really did pan out close to forecast. Lot of 16-20" totals around the metro on the noon news. Took a long time to snowblow and shovel.

Still a lot of impressive totals.

 

I have fam in the two top spots on your list. Not sure they care all that much for snow-n-cold tbh

Nice post and a cool graphic from NWS MPX explaining why the forecast didn't pan out exactly as expected up there, although as James mentioned it still came fairly close.

Do you know what MSP officially ended with?

Thanks for the help with this storm. I had an amazing time at Devils' head and Cascade and it was absolutely miserable where I live with ice. I'll post pics when I have more time, snow was amazing even if it was kind of sleety at points.

Thought this was interesting in Portland, Oregon NWS reported the 2nd largest snowstorm 10.8” since 1943.  That office is nearly at sea level.  
 

 

Some places on the OR coast around Tillamook got more snow at sea level than MSP with this storm.
