MPR’s Pat Kessler reports on the literal stand still in place for much of the Twin Cities after large snowstorm. Kessler details abandoned cars, shut businesses, no school, a sag to Metrdome roof, and airport closure.
One of the largest snowfalls on record for December in the Twin Cities was this December 27-28, 1982, with 16.5 inches on the ground. It brought heavy wet snow and even lightning. The Minneapolis St. Paul Airport was closed for 19 hours due to this storm (first time airport was closed because of snow since March, 1965).
