| Episode Narrative |
A strong upper level low pressure trough and associated surface low pressure area moved across the region bringing the first of two consecutive blizzards to west central Minnesota. Snowfall amounts of 3 to 5 inches combined with bitter cold northwest winds of 25 to 40 mph to generate blizzard conditions across the region. Visibilities fell to near zero with nearly impossible travel conditions. The snowfall began from 9 to 10 am CST and ended on the 31st between 3 and 4 am CST. |
