Some Minnesotans began to panic with the thoughts of a "historic" weather event that was supposed to happen in late February 2023.

Forecasts were predicting around a foot of snow in the Northland, while parts in the Twin Cities area were predicted of facing up to over two feet of snow.

Let's not forget this year's Minnesota snowplow name winners:

Here's a look from the first night of the storm:
