| Episode Narrative |
A strong low pressure system over eastern South Dakota moved quickly east into western Wisconsin during the afternoon and evening hours on January 12th. This spread a band of heavy snow across portions of southeast Minnesota. Snowfall accumulations ranged from 4 to 7 inches in the band of heavy snow extending from northern Mower county to northern Wabasha county. Strong winds on the backside of the low pressure system caused blowing and drifting snow reducing visibilities in open areas. |
| Event Narrative |
Dodge Center reported 6.0 inches of snow with widespread blowing and drifting. |
