A wide range of snow fell throughout Cook County in the past 24 hours. The National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Warning for southern Lake and Cook Counties, which began on Saturday, February 1, and expired on Sunday, February 2, at 6 a.m., for several inches of snow (higher totals closer to the shore of Lake Superior due to a lake-enhanced effect) and gusty winds. A Winter Weather Advisory was issued for the northern portions of Lake and Cook Counties. 

Here are the latest snowfall totals for Cook County from the past 24 hours: 
  • Lutsen: 8.0 in
  • Grand Marais (two reports along Highway 7 in Grand Marais): 5.8 in - 6.9 in 
  • Tofte: 6.3 in
  • Croftville: 5.0 in    
  • Hovland: 4.5 in  
  • Grand Marais (Gunflint Trail near the Laurentian Divide): 3.1 in
  • Sea Gull Lake: 1.9 in  

Snow lovers across the county and state welcome the fresh snow, with many getting outside to participate in winter activities. While the area is still experiencing a snow deficit compared to a typical winter, for some, any amount is welcomed, especially after a difficult 23-24 season. According to the MN DNR snow depth map, northern Minnesota has some snow, but Cook County has the deepest snow in the entire state.
