A winter storm moved across the Upper Midwest and brought a round of snow to southeast Minnesota from February 11th into the early morning hours of the 13th. The snow was heaviest along the Mississippi River where totals around a foot were common. Snowfall amounts ranged from around 5 inches up to 14 inches.
