Snow gradually tapers off Tuesday; 4th snowiest February on record
Our latest snow event is performing admirably again.
Snowfall totals from 3 to 6 inches cover most of eastern Minnesota Tuesday. Higher totals are piling up in Wisconsin as expected. The snow will gradually taper off from west to east Tuesday afternoon across the region.
Most areas will pick up another 1 to 3 inches Tuesday. Longer duration brings higher totals into Wisconsin as you head east.
4th snowiest February
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport has already logged at least 3.7 inches of new snowfall with this system. That puts our February snowfall total over 20 inches, which is good enough for the fourth snowiest February on record in the Twin Cities.
