Northern Minnesota Snowfall Totals For November 24th And 25th

It finally happened: we got our first measurable snow in the Northland! Yes, we did see some snow on Halloween and some flurries at other times.

However, we saw our first accumulating snow on Sunday (November 24th) through Monday evening. It looks pretty, at least.

It was the first time this winter season so far that we had to really shovel off our sidewalks and steps and scrape snow off our cars! We also saw several winter weather advisories across Minnesota.

All of this to say, we got our first real taste of winter just in time for the end of the month. So how much snow did we get?

The 15 Snowiest Winters On Record In Duluth History

Since the National Weather Service began keeping weather records in Duluth in the late 1800s, here are the 15 winters with the highest snowfall totals on historical record.

It is worth noting that the official records from 1941-today have been recorded at the area now known as the Duluth International Airport (away from the lake, on top of the hill). Before then, various locations closer to Lake Superior had been used for official weather recording data. For anyone that knows anything about how Lake Superior and the hill play a role in temperature and snow, you can see how this makes older records inherently different.

While these records note the "snowiest winters", they actually include all seasonal snowfall from July 1 through June 30 of the following year.
