DULUTH — The winter solstice is Saturday, but it finally looked a little more like winter Thursday as the city received its first significant snowfall.
Throughout the fall, downtown, near the lake and other parts of the city had very little — if any — snow.

On Wednesday,
the National Weather Service in Duluth projected 5-9 inches
of light, fluffy snow for the Twin Ports and North Shore for Thursday. In an update Thursday afternoon, the NWS said storm amounts have decreased, with Duluth’s total predicted to be at 2.8 inches by Friday morning.
Even with decreased totals, it looks like all of the Northland can look forward to a white Christmas next week.
