Parts of Minnesota’s Arrowhead region woke up to snow Sunday, likely Minnesota’s first of the season, according to a National Weather Service meteorologist.

Krystal Lynum, a meteorologist with the Weather Service in Duluth, said her office received reports of a dusting in Brimson, about 30 miles northwest of Two Harbors. Facebook reports in a North Shore group also showed a dusting in Isabella, west of Tofte.

Lynum said the snowfall seemed to be “a dusting at most,” as precipitation turned to snowflakes when the temperature dropped close to freezing. The same thing could happen overnight into Monday, she said.

“Temperatures are supposed to get colder tonight than they were last night, so we might see some more widespread of, at least, a mix of rain and snow, maybe all snow up in the Arrowhead,” she said.

Still, nothing measurable, and all likely to melt fast. Wait to pull out those skis.
