Snow season is NOT over

Despite our recent warm weather and the reprieve in our snow over the last couple of weeks, the season isn’t even close to ending. Since February 1st, the Twin Cities has seen roughly 8 inches of snow. A far cry different from what we experienced during the same time last year. During that same time, we saw more than 8 times that number, topping 4 FEET of snow in 6 weeks.
