Elsewhere, 15 inches of snow was reported south of Twin Brooks; Gary received 14 inches; Wilmot 13.5 inches; LaBolt had 12.5 inches; Clear Lake 12.2 inches and Sisseton had 10.6 inches of new snow over the same time period. The latest winter storm system serves as a reminder that oftentimes our heaviest snows tend to occur as we get closer to spring when temperatures tend to gradually increase, which adds more moisture to any snowfall we may receive.
