Under a strong sun that teased of warmer days to come, winter-weary Minnesotans spent Saturday digging out from yet another snowstorm.
Muscle power was necessary to move the moisture-laden snow, which took down tree branches, felled power lines and left many roads still snow covered even by the sunnier midday.
The 8.5 inches of snow that fell at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport made this the third snowiest winter of all time. And weather forecasters are warning that another dumping could come by the middle of next week.
