The winter of 2006-2007 was unseasonably warm and had very little snow. We got a whopper of a storm on Thursday, March 1. It was an all out blizzard. Chief Gordon Ramsay advised all Duluthians to stay at home.
The Aerial Lift Bridge closed and residents of Park Point had snow up to the second story or their homes.
Data from National Weather Service states that Duluth received snowfall of over 20 inches with winds of up to 50 miles per hour. Duluth and the area around Lake Superior were the hardest hit. At times the snow fell at the rate of 1 to 2 inches an hour. Thundersnow was also experienced.
