Richfield Has 'Close Call' with May Storm That Decided to Dump Snow Elsewhere
Nearly a foot of snow will fall in places south and east of Richfield, according to the National Weather Service.
Richfield avoided the brunt of a rare May snowstorm overnight that the National Weather Service says will leave nearly 12 inches of snow in areas to the south and east, where a Winter Storm Warning remains in effect:
Close call for the Twin Cities. A 30 mile wide heavy snow band continues to stream moisture northeast overnight. This snow band has seen very little movement over the past few hours and has produced widespread 4-8" snowfall amounts. Isolated locations in the shaded region will see near a foot of snow by the time it's all said and done
