The fourth snowstorm for December 2010 adds to the deepening snowpack across Minnesota.
Warm air moved up and over a cold dome of air and the result was more snow for Minnesota. This snowfall covered a large portion of the state with two to six inches of snow. The highest snow total found was 15 inches at Adolph in St. Louis County. The snow began in southwestern Minnesota and spread to the Twin Cities Metro area by late morning. The accumulating snow tapered off by evening across the Twin Cities, but sleet and some freezing drizzle continued off and on through the morning of the 21st.
Listed below are Public Information Statements and Storm Summaries from the National Weather Service.
