The first major snow event of the 2011-2012 season impacted the state throughout the day of November 19th. It affected primarily central Minnesota. The greatest amounts were found in a narrow band of 6 to 11 inches from just north of Saint Cloud to the Wisconsin border. Sartell and Saint Stephen in Stearns County both received the greatest accumulation with both sites recording 11 inches. While the amount of 3.8 inches recorded at the Saint Cloud Airport was paltry in comparison it did manage to top the old daily record on the 19th of 3.6 inches that fell back in 1948. Snowfall amounts fell off rapidly on either side of the narrow band with only 3 inches recorded at Minneapolis/Saint Paul International Airport.
