Tom Posted October 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 Plenty of 1-3" reports of snow just W & N of MSP across MN...nice to see them folks get their first snows of the season. Tracking this beauty and beastly storm has been interesting throughout the week. It certainly will be one of those highlight storms we'll see in future cycles during the Winter & Spring months. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
