Semi Stuck on I-494 on February 21, 2014
Courtesy: MNDOT
A potent winter storm developed over southeast Colorado late on February 19th and moved to near Kansas City by noon on February 20 and intensified. Warm moist air moved up ahead of this system and precipitation began as drizzle during the late morning hours of February 20 in the Twin Cities and changed over to heavy wet snow during the afternoon.
Moderate to heavy snow continued over Eastern Minnesota during the evening and tapered off in by the early morning hours in the Twin Cities and persisted into early afternoon over northeast Minnesota. The center of the low pressure was over Lake Superior by the morning of the 21st. Schools were canceled across the Twin Cities for the sixth time this winter and blizzard conditions affected many open areas of southern and central Minnesota. Due to the nature of the precipitation beginning as drizzle and very wet snow coupled with falling temperatures, nearly all roads became snow packed, making travel hazardous and specifically semi-trucks had difficulty navigating up inclines.
In general 6 to 10 inches of snow fell with this storm from south central Minnesota near Albert Lea, through the Twin Cities and to Northeast Minnesota. Heavier snow was reported in northeast Minnesota with a swath of 12 to 15 inches from Duluth north to the Boundary Waters. The heaviest storm total snowfall found so far was 17.5 inches of snow at Alborn in St. Louis County. The Duluth National Weather Service Office saw 13.9 inches of snow in 24 hours. The storm total at the Twin Cities International Airport was 9.9 inches.
