The Twin Cities and southern Minnesota experienced a historic snowfall from Tuesday through Thursday, with over a foot of snow blanketing the city and creating hazardous conditions for drivers and pedestrians alike.

Despite the challenging weather, MPR News visual staff and freelance photographers Judy Griesidieck, Stephen Maturen, and Jackson Forderer and videographer Ben Garvin were out in force, capturing Minnesota life throughout the day.
