Morning Edition’s Cathy Wurzer checks with Elizabeth Baier in Rochester on the blizzard conditions in area. Much of the state was covered in snow, including southeastern Minnesota, which closed roads and schools.

A snowstorm rolled through across much of Minnesota on February 19-20, 2010. Snowfall totals ranged from 6 to 17 inches. Because of a cold winter, by the third week of February, much of eastern Minnesota had the deepest snow cover seen in years. The Twin Cities International Airport had a snow depth of 24 inches on February 21, 2014…the deepest snow cover in the Twin Cities since January 26, 1982.
