DULUTH - It's the most snow we've seen this year in one snowstorm in Duluth and many areas across the Northland.Just Sunday, the Northland was being pounded by heavy wet snow.

"Our storm total was right around six inches but we had quite a bit variation in the area because of a lot of the wind," Duluth National Weather Service Forecaster Declan Cannon said.

The snow storm is over, but the clean-up has just begun.

People are now cranking up their snow blowers to clear compacted sidewalks and driveways.

Some are busy shoveling their way out of their homes.

It was even worse for cars with bald tires surrounded by snow banks.

All over the region you can still see mounds of snow on sidewalks and streets.

"As soon as we plow something the snow it would blow or fall back in right behind us and fill in," said Kelly Fleissner with Duluth Public Works. "It's a heavier full bodied snow which is more difficult to plow."

City crews have been plowing around the clock since the storm began.

"We really brought in all of our forces, had all of our trucks out after midnight and that really paid off for us," said Fleissner.

They have been cleaning out the main arteries and laying down a salt and sand mixture.

But Monday, making sure residential streets are drivable is the priority.

While it may be a pain to clean up after, the storm actually provided some much needed moisture with the Northland being 11 inches below normal snowfall this winter season.

"Any kind of precipitation we can throw on the ground now and have here which will eventually melt and runoff that's good, that's good news," said Cannon.

Fleissner is asking people to move their cars onto the correct side of the street so crews can plow.

He says those who don't move their cars can be ticketed or towed.
