There are some prolific snowfall totals up to 18 inches from the weekend through Monday in northwest Minnesota. About 16 inches has fallen near Red Lake. Fargo, N.D., Grand Forks, N.D., and Bemidji, Minn., have tallied around 13 inches.

Snowfall continues heavy at times for the North Shore with some lake-enhanced totals.

The rest of the week looks fairly quiet after Monday.
