The timing of the snow for St. Cloud is from about early afternoon on Friday into late Friday night.

It took a long time in the season for the snow to finally arrive in Minnesota, but so far it has been a very snowy February.  We've had over 11 inches of snow so far this month, which is nearly 8 inches above normal for this point in the month.

If we want to crack the top 10 for snowiest Februarys on record in St. Cloud, we have to get past 16.8 inches which is the 10th snowiest right now.

St. Cloud has had nearly 25 inches of snow so far this winter, which is nearly 5 inches below normal.

Behind the snow front bitterly cold temperatures and wind chill readings are expected to stick with us through much of next week.
