MPR’s Mark Steil reports from Worthington, detailing stranded motorists and power outages as a blizzard moves through Minnesota, with up to a foot of snow.
Termed a “Land Hurricane," the storm swept across the state dropping heavy snow. Winds gusted up to 60 mph over parts of central and southern Minnesota. Storm’s also noteworthy for the all-time lowest barometric pressure record (the 28.43 reading at Austin and Albert Lea broke the old record of 28.55 that was set in Duluth on January 11, 1975).
