Starting Tuesday night and tapering off Wednesday, this season’s first winter storm dropped 12 inches on Prior Lake.
Minnetonka and MSP Airport both reported more than 9 inches with 9.5 inches and 9.2 inches respectively.
Some other notable totals were St. Louis Park’s 8.8 inches, Plymouth and Fridley’s 8.5 inches and Eden Prairie’s 8 inches.
