Updated Snowfall Totals From February 22-23, 2023 Storm

The storm spanning Wednesday and into Thursday was billed as a potentially "historic" weather event. Early forecasts suggested around a foot of snow in parts of the Twin Ports area and upwards of two feet in places like the Twin Cities and on the Bayfield Penninsula.

While most places didn't see quite as much as was forecasted earlier in the week, there are still a few places that saw some snow amounts that made things challenging for people.

Thanks, in part, to Lake Superior enhancing snowfall totals of the top spots in the Northland saw over two feet in the most recent report.
