| episode_narrative | An intense winter storm moved across the central plains, toward the Great Lakes, producing a variety of severe winter weather over northeast Minnesota and creating what many considered to be the worst storm since the Halloween Blizzard of 1991. Warm air moved into the region ahead of the storm, causing precipitation initially in the form of freezing rain. The freezing rain then changed over to snow, eventually producing from 9 to 18 inches, with the heavier amounts in the Arrowhead region of extreme northeast Minnesota. Duluth received 14.9 inches. As the storm moved away from the region, northwest winds increased, gusting to over 40 mph and causing near-blizzard conditions and wind chills as low as 70 below zero. Many roads were closed by snow that drifted as deep as 5 feet in places. The extreme weather conditions caused the closing of schools and curtailed mail delivery, bus service, and airport operations. |
