Tuesday is only St. Cloud’s second day in January with measurable snowfall.

According to St. Cloud State Meteorology Professor, Bob Weisman, a strong low pressure system pushed through central Minnesota causing the measurable snowfall, beginning just after midnight here in St. Cloud.

Weisman says as of 6:00 a.m. Tuesday morning snow accumulations reached 3.9 inches on the SCSU campus. Weisman forecasts St. Cloud will end up with 4-5 inches of snow, making it the second largest daily snowfall of the winter.

With the significant snowfall and winds between 15-20 MPH the National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory effective until 3:00 p.m. Tuesday.
