March 12, 2001 Snow Totals
 

Low pressure developed over northeast Kansas during the evening of the 11th. The low moved into southwest Iowa early Monday morning and as it did, a mixture of precipitation developed across the region. Snow occurred from west central Wisconsin back into north central Iowa. A band of mixed wintry precipitation developed across southwest Wisconsin into central Iowa with rain south of this area. As the low moved into north central Iowa during the morning of the 12th, the bands of precipitation showed very little movement. By the late afternoon of the 12th, the low had moved into northern Wisconsin and had pushed the snow and mixed precipitation north of the region. The stage was set for some locations to receive heavy snow when the bands of precipitation showed very little movement as the low approached the area. A swath of snowfall exceeding 6 inches occurred over all of southeast Minnesota into west central Wisconsin with a band of 10+ inches extending from an area south and east of Rochester to near Medford Wisconsin.
