This storm system moved out of the Rockies, and into the Upper Midwest late Tuesday night, and into Wednesday, February 20th. Deep moisture was present during the onset of this storm, which allowed for much higher snowfall rates. There was also ample upper level jet energy that was coupled with mid-level forcing during the overnight and early morning hours of Wednesday February 20th. There was also the presence of gulf moisture that interacted with the storm early in the development. The surface low was weak, and moved overhead across southern Minnesota during the morning of Wednesday, February 20th.
