Snow greeted many Minnesotans Friday morning. It’s the earliest measurable snowfall in four years for the Twin Cities, about two weeks earlier than the typical average.
Duluth picked up two inches of snow, which set a new daily snowfall record for Oct. 14. Snowfall reports of between one and three inches were common across northern Minnesota.
There was four-tenths of an inch recorded at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, and some northern suburbs picked up around an inch.
The snow disappeared by the early afternoon in the Twin Cities, but in the north, it’s sticking. We asked you to share your photos with us across the state, here are our favorite ones.
