My neighbor blows snow from his driveway on Wednesday.
HEY, MINNESOTA, we did it. Yesterday’s winter storm pushed us into the snowiest February ever. The current month’s snow total in the Twin Cities as of noon Wednesday was 30.4 inches. That’s a new record, according to the National Weather Service.
The NWS February snowfall totals for the Twin Cities posted mid-day Wednesday.
This shatters the February record snowfall of 26.5 inches set 57 years ago in 1962.
The forecast on a Twin Cities TV station Wednesday morning predicts more snow.
Snow was still falling Wednesday afternoon into evening, earlier in the day at a rate sometimes reaching two inches an hour. With eight days remaining in the month and forecasts for more snow in upcoming days, that record-shattering 30.4 inches will rise even higher.
Another neighbor shovels her driveway. The amount of snow on the ground, in piles, everywhere, is insane.

The City of Faribault did a great job clearing streets in my neighborhood on Wednesday.
Bravo, Minnesota.
I just want the snow to stop, But we still have to get through the rest of February and then March and April.
But now that we’ve claimed the snowiest February ever, can we be done with winter?
Winter beauty from my backyard.
THOUGHTS? I welcome positive comments about winter and snow and waiting for spring. Or I’ll accept congratulations/sympathy on behalf of my state for this new February snowfall record.
