Is It Usually This Snowy in March in Minnesota?

Unfortunately, it's totally reasonable for us to get snow in Minnesota in March.

Actually, did you know that March used to be our snowiest month of the year? As of 2023, that title goes to December according to WCCO.

I wouldn't be surprised if that title changes back to March, though, because December has been pretty dry the past few years and March has given us quite a few snowstorms.

Snowstorm Predictions for this Weekend

Things change with the weather so rapidly these days that it's still a bit hard to say where the snow will hit the hardest and exactly how much snow will fall, but we've got an idea of what we can expect.

One of the models, thanks to Bring Me the News, shows that the whole state could get some snow on Sunday. It would be around an inch of snow in the Twin Cities and down into Rochester but a chance for a foot or more in the Duluth area.

Other models show rain for the Twin Cities, Rochester, and the rest of the southern part of Minnesota and snow for the northern portion. Those models are showing between 2 and 7 inches of snow or so in the Duluth and northern Minnesota area.

Duluth has a winter storm watch in effect Saturday night and through Sunday. Snow to some degree is definitely expected in that area. As for the Twin Cities and Rochester, though, it may be too warm for snow and it could all just be rain.
