A second round of heavy snow over the Thanksgiving weekend dumped nearly 22 inches on Duluth, and city officials advised Sunday morning that some parts of the city were “completely impassable.”

Duluth officials asked residents to stay off the city’s main roads. Access to Duluth’s Park Point neighborhood across the Aerial Lift Bridge was limited to residents only, with police checking IDs at the bridge.

With 21.7 inches piled up by noon Sunday, it was among the Top 10 two-day snowfalls on record, said Justin Schultz, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Duluth.

The NWS in Duluth said it’s the ninth highest snowfall over two days since Nov. 1-2, 1991 when 32.6 inches fell.
