Wintry Weekend Weather Covers Edina With Snow, Ice

EDINA, MN — Days are getting longer and March Madness is just around the corner, sure signs that spring is on its way. But winter was not quite ready to end this weekend in Edina.

More than five inches of snow fell in parts of Edina over the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

Most of that accumulated during an “intense” period of snowfall that lasted only two to three hours early Sunday morning, the NWS said.

Up to a quarter-inch of ice also fell in parts of Minnesota over the weekend as part of the storm that stretched from the southwest part of the state through northern Wisconsin.

Despite a few unseasonably warm days in recent weeks, Minnesotans should expect the cold to linger for a little while longer, the NWS said.
