Snow-covered daffodils aren't anyone’s idea of spring. But at least it’s not March 1985. That’s when the Twin Cities got socked with 16.7 inches of snow on March 4 and then another 14.7 inches of snow at the end of the month, getting it into the record books as the third snowiest March on record in the Twin Cities. March 1985 ended with 36.8 inches of snow. The March record was set in 1951, when 40 inches of snow fell.
These are Minnesota's top five March snowfalls in inches.
