Little more interesting situation is possible from Monday to Friday, 14.-18. December 2020, when relative heavy snowfall hit Minneapolis and region westward from Minneapolis, with possible 5 – 6 inches (up to 20 cm) of snow cover around Thursday – Friday, 17.-18. December, only a week before a Christmas Day.
