7.6” at MSP.
Largest storm of the year. 
All timer forecast bust

Crazy, that band just set up shop and barely moved for about 18 hours. Ended up with 6” imby

An additional 2.5" for me last night. Total of 17.2" imby is a welcome hit. Good SWE, too. Some lingering -SN today that may net a couple more tenths, but that's just a garnish.

Getting some good rumbles.

@OrdIowPitMsp hope you visited Ice caves in the Apostles already, because the ice is now gone. Wind blew it away.

We didn’t get a chance to go up there. I guess I’ll have to wait until my next opportunity whenever that may be. 
 

Hovland MN with 38.6” of snow. Might have established a new state record if that can be verified.

Snow bands are reforming, might get another 1-2".

Just looked it up. Not even close to a record it looks like, unless a lot more hits today. 26.6 in the 24 hr for Hovland, so will see what the next reading is tomorrow am for storm total.

Maximum 24-hour snowfall	36.0 inches	January 7, 1994	near Finland	Lake
Maximum single storm snowfall	46.5 inches	January 6-8, 1994	near Finland	Lake
