The first winter wallop of the season dropped about a foot of snow on the Twin Cities area by Sunday night, Dec. 9, and resulted in hundreds of accidents, canceled flights, snow emergencies and the prospect of delays to start the week.
The National Weather Service said the "powerful storm" plopped more than 10.2 inches at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The weekend total was more than double last year's largest snowfall of 4.4 inches on Dec. 3 and a third more than last season's snowiest month when 7.3 inches fell in December, said National Weather Service meteorologist Mike Griesinger.
