Snow and ice are a way of life here. See how a lost winter upended that.
Lake ice too thin to support pickup trucks
Earlier recent winters in Duluth (from WDIO Radio):
2020-2021 brought 76.4” of snow to Duluth, which was a good foot below our normal 90.2”. The next year was just a touch above average with 93.4”.
Then there was the season of 2022-2023, the snowiest winter on record in Duluth coming in 140.1”. That’s almost twelve feet!
This past winter (Minnesota Department of Natural Resources):
The strange and winterless winter continued into January of 2024, which started warm, ended even warmer, and had a middle 10-day period with the only winter-like weather since December 1st. It was dry, and nearly snowless in many areas, although our brief, wintry interlude did bring a couple snowfall events to parts of the state.
