We Didn’t Want To Say It As This Huge Storm Was Approaching, But Now We Will….100 Year Records Are Now Being Broken!
Posted By thestatedtruth.com on December 13, 2010
The blizzard that pummeled the Upper Midwest over the weekend was one for the record books, burying some communities with nearly 2 feet of snow and breaking 100-year-old records in others and all the way to the South, new records have been set as snow and brutally cold air blasted in behind the storm.
Minnesota and Wisconsin were hardest-hit by the blizzard, with more than 20 inches of snow piling up east of the Twin Cities and into western parts of Wisconsin Friday night into Saturday night.
Snowfall totals reached 23.0 inches near Osceola, Wis., 22.0 inches in Eau Claire, Wis., and 21.5 inches in New Market and Shakopee, Minn.
This image shows snow depth across the country as of Monday, Dec. 13, 2010. The snowstorm over the weekend significantly increased the percentage of snow cover for the contiguous U.S., as it dropped measurable snow in the central Plains and the mid-Mississippi and Tennessee valleys.
The 17.1 inches that fell in Minneapolis from Dec. 10-11 set the all-time record for two-day snowfall in December.
