For example, Wausau, Wisconsin’s new record of 9.3 inches was almost double the previous record of 5.6 inches set in 1923.

Look at this imagae from Weather Nation:

The 5.3 inches of snow that fell in Sioux Falls, S.D. also set a new record, shattering the old record of 3.3 inches set in 1974.

High snow amounts in other areas included:

Petoskey, MI.           12″
Minneapolis, MN    10.6″
Elk Creek, WI            9.0″
Cheboygan, MI         8.5″
Ledyard, IA               8.0″
St. Cloud, MN           7.7″
