People Still Digging Out from the Snow
Thursday, February 14th, 2019 -- 1:42 PM
-People are still digging themselves out from a storm system that brought snow into the area starting Monday evening, February 11th, and continued to drop snow into Tuesday evening, February 12th.Snow became heavy in northeast Iowa first and then spread northward overnight into Tuesday morning. As the storm pivoted over the area, it produced bands of heavier snow from northeast Iowa and southeast Minnesota into western Wisconsin. Totals were in the 8-15" range, especially from near Winona, MN to Black River Falls. Behind the snow, northwest winds increased and caused blowing and drifting in open farm land by Tuesday evening.
This ended up causing more slick roads and hazardous travel; even some highways were closed in southern Minnesota and northern Iowa. So how much snow did we get? According to reports received by the National Weather Service, Loyal saw just shy of 17.5 inches of snow. Withee saw 13.5 inches and Spencer saw 13.5 inches as well.
