The low pressure system that gave us periods of snow, rain, freezing rain and sleet yesterday into today is finally moving away. There were power outages in parts of the Twin Cities metro area as freezing rain coated power lines and trees. The wet snow and winds that followed made the situation worse in some spots.
Snow amounts varied quite a bit around the metro area. I measured 4.2 inches of snow in Minnetonka Jordan Andover Anoka
Here are some snowfall totals from the Twin Cities office of the National Weather Service:
