Parts of central and western Minnesota saw more than a half-foot of snow on Sunday, as Saturday’s spring-like conditions were followed by a rapid return to winter to end February across much of the state.
As of midday Sunday, the Minnesota Department of Transportation continued to report snow-covered highways from Pipestone and Windom north toward Benson, Willmar and Litchfield. While temperatures were falling, they remained warm enough — especially in the Twin Cities — for plows and salt to make quick work of the new snow.
The Minnesota State Patrol reported 55 crashes and 45 spinouts on state highways between 7 a.m. and noon on Sunday.
