| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An early spring storm dropped 6 to 9 inches of wet, heavy snow in a 60 mile wide band from about Pine River to Gunflint Lake, including Duluth and the Iron Range. Strong winds gusting over 50 mph also produced near-blizzard conditions and toppled a few trees that were burdened with the wet, heavy snow. Some of these falling trees, in turn, caused minor structural damage. The storm wound down during the morning hours of April 1. The greatest snowfall was 9.5 inches at Floodwood. Other reports included 8 inches in Babbitt, Cloquet, and Brainerd and around 6 inches at Duluth, Tower, and Gunflint Lake. |
