St. Cloud's Snow Total from Latest System

ST. CLOUD (WJON News) -- March came in like a lion with another round of snow in central Minnesota.

The National Weather Service says St. Cloud officially had 4.5 inches of snow from the event with a half-inch falling before midnight and four inches falling on Wednesday.

St. Cloud averages 8.2 inches of snow in the month of March, so we're nearly halfway there after the first day of the month.

The National Weather Service says another round of accumulating snow is likely on Sunday into Monday, so we could be adding to that total then.

The Climate Prediction Center is indicating that March should be wetter than normal for us.
