An intense upper level low pressure area moved across the region Sunday into Monday morning bringing very heavy snowfall to west central Minnesota. Snowfall amounts of 13 to 20 inches along with north winds of 25 to 40 mph brought widespread blizzard conditions and heavy drifting across the region. The heavy snow and low visibilities resulted in road closures along with event and school cancellations Sunday into Monday. Some snowfall amounts included 13 inches at Artichoke Lake, White Rock, and Wheaton; 14 inches at Browns Valley and 20 inches at Ortonville. The snowfall began around 1 pm on the 20th and ended in the early afternoon of the 21st. |
