The episode as NWS MPX wrote it up.
A large storm system began to organize across the northern Rockies Sunday night, March 3rd. A band of light snow developed ahead of this system across western Minnesota, and moved east across the state Sunday night. Much drier air across the western Great Lakes kept most of the snowfall very light or non-measurable across far eastern Minnesota until sunrise as the atmosphere moistened up. The continued dry air to the east eventually caused the light snow to dissipate across western Wisconsin, and then turn over to flurries by the afternoon. By the late afternoon, and into the evening of Monday, March 4th, the storm system became more organized, and moved southeast across the eastern Dakotas. This allowed for bands of moderate snowfall to develop across eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin. The snow tapered off Tuesday afternoon March 5th, but as the storm wound down, a band of 6 to 10 inches of snow fell across far west central Wisconsin.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Twin Cities, MN wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Mar 4, 5:51 AM CST, 6 hours 9 minutes earlier.

551 AM CST MON MAR 4 2013
.AVIATION... /12Z TAF ISSUANCE/
CEILINGS DETERIORATING TO IFR FOR KSTC AND KMSP THROUGH 13Z AND
KRNH BY 14Z AS THE LEADING EDGE OF THE SNOW BAND MOVES IN. IT MAY
TAKE UNTIL EARLY THIS AFTERNOON FOR THE LOWER CONDITIONS TO REACH
KEAU WHERE A DEEP LAYER OF DRY AIR EXISTS BELOW 10K FEET. THE
WORST OF THE SNOW FOR TODAY IS EAST OF KAXN AND KRWF WITH
IMPROVEMENT IN VSBY EXPECTED. ALTHOUGH CEILINGS AT THESE TWO SITES
WILL FLUCTUATE ABOVE AND BELOW 010 FOR A TIME THIS MORNING...
BELIEVE CIGS BELOW 010 WILL BE THE RULE FOR THE AFTERNOON AND
NIGHT. THERE IS ALSO SOME CHANCE FOR LIGHT FREEZING DRIZZLE TODAY
IN THE WAKE OF THE SNOW BAND AT THE MN TAF SITES. CONFIDENCE ON
TIMING NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN THE TAFS. THE MAIN STORM
SYSTEM WILL DROP SOUTHWARD ACROSS MN TONIGHT. THIS WILL BRING A
RESURGENCE IN THE SNOWFALL...ESPECIALLY ACROSS EASTERN MN AND
WESTERN WI. MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY SNOW LIKELY FOR MUCH OF THE
NIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING FOR KMSP...KRNH AND KEAU. EAST WINDS 10
TO 20 KNOTS TONIGHT BACKING TO A MORE NORTHERLY DIRECTION FOR TUESDAY.
KMSP...A BAND OF WAA SNOW WILL MOVE THROUGH THIS MORNING WITH IFR
CIGS AND VSBYS NEAR 1SM. SNOWFALL ACCUMULATION FROM 12Z-18Z NEAR
2 INCHES. IMPROVING VSBY THIS AFTERNOON AS THE SNOW WANES A BIT
WITH CEILINGS DRIFTING ABOVE AND BELOW 010. THE SNOW WILL RETURN
WITH A VENGEANCE TONIGHT AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DROPS SOUTH
ACROSS MN. MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW IS LIKELY DURING THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS WITH A GRADUAL DIMINISHING TREND TUESDAY MORNING. SNOWFALL
ACCUMULATION OVERNIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING AROUND 7 INCHES. GUSTY
ESE WINDS TODAY FROM 15 TO 25 KNOTS BACKING TO THE NORTHEAST AT 10
KNOTS BY TUESDAY MORNING AND N 15 KNOTS FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

.DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 442 AM CST MON MAR 4 2013/
LATE SEASON WINTER STORM WILL SPREAD A SWATH OF 6 TO 10 INCHES OF
SNOW ACROSS THE REGION...WITH THE BULK OF THE PRECIP OCCURRING
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. COOLER WEATHER WILL FOLLOW FOR
THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK WITH A FEW SUBZERO READINGS POSSIBLE
WEDNESDAY MORNING ACROSS WESTERN MINNESOTA...AND SINGLE DIGITS IN
WESTERN WISCONSIN THURSDAY MORNING. THE COLD WEATHER WILL BE SHORT
LIVED AS SOUTHWEST FLOW BRINGS MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES FOR THE
WEEKEND...AND A CHANCE FOR RAIN OR SNOW.
TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY...EARLY MORNING WATER VAPOR IMAGERY TOGETHER
WITH RAP40 500MB HEIGHTS AND WINDS SHOWED A COMPACT VORTICITY
MAXIMUM ACROSS THE MT/ND BORDER. THE 1001MB SURFACE LOW WAS
LOCATED IN EAST CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. AN AREA OF SNOW EXTENDED
SOUTHEAST FROM THE SURFACE LOW ACROSS MINNESOTA INTO EASTERN IOWA
AND WESTERN ILLINOIS ALONG THE H850 WARM AIR ADVECTION AS SEEN IN
THE SPC MESOANALYSIS. LOCAL SHORTRANGE MODELS...INCLUDING THE HOP-
WRF...SHOW THIS BAND GRADUALLY DIMINISHING TO VERY LIGHT SNOW
AND POSSIBLE FREEZING DRIZZLE THIS AFTERNOON AS IT MAKES ITS WAY
NORTHEASTWARD AND ENCOUNTERS THE DRY LOW LEVEL AIR. THIS MAY GIVE
THE FALSE NOTION THAT THE WINTER STORM WARNING WAS A BUST...BUT DO
NOT BE FOOLED. A CLOSER LOOK AT THE NORTH AMERICAN WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY REVEALS A DRY AREA UPSTREAM FROM THE SHORTWAVE ALONG THE
BRITISH COLUMBIA COAST. THIS DENOTES THE HIGH POTENTIAL VORTICITY
OF THE STRATOSPHERIC AIR ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER LEVEL FRONT AND
JET STREAK. OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS THIS HIGH PV RESERVOIR WILL
FEED INTO THE SHORTWAVE...CAUSING IT TO BECOME MORE AMPLIFIED AND
TAKE ON A NEGATIVE TILT. THE UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS OF THIS
WAVE...EVIDENT BY THE TREMENDOUS QVECT CONVERGENCE...WILL LEAD TO
AN AREA OF UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION CENTERED WITHIN THE H500/600MB
LAYER ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE H500MB LOW TRACK. AS THE
MOVES/DEVELOPS SOUTHEAST...A PROLONGED AREA OF MODERATE SNOW WILL
FALL ALONG THE MN/WI BORDER MONDAY NIGHT. DESPITE THE FACT THAT
THE SURFACE LOW WILL FILL 10MB OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS! A
PRONOUNCED TROWEL WILL DEVELOP WHICH WILL ONLY ENHANCE THE
SNOWFALL POTENTIAL LATE MONDAY EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING.
MODELS HAVE COME IN TO BETTER AGREEMENT THAT A 10IN SWATH OF
SNOWFALL APPEARS LIKELY FROM JUST EAST OF ST CLOUD...THROUGH THE
TWIN CITIES METRO AREA...DOWN TOWARDS LA CROSSE WI...SO HAVE
EXPANDED THE WINTER STORM WARNING EASTWARD TO INCLUDE ALL THE
WISCONSIN COUNTIES IN THE MPX FORECAST AREA. NAM BUFR SOUNDINGS
SHOW NORTHWEST MIXED LAYER WINDS OF MID 20S...WITH GUSTS NEAR
30KTS ATOP THE LAYER ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS WESTERN
MINNESOTA. THEREFORE HAVE INCLUDED BLOWING SNOW ALONG THE
MINNESOTA RIVER VALLEY. THE LIGHT SNOW WILL TAPER OFF TO FLURRIES
BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON...WITH CLEARING SKIES TUESDAY EVENING. AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION...EXPECT GOOD RADIATIONAL
COOLING AND THEREFORE DROPPED TUESDAY NIGHT TEMPS BELOW GUIDANCE.
WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THE DEPARTING WINTER STORM WILL PHASE
WITH THE SOUTHERN STREAM AND CURL NORTHWARD ALONG THE ATLANTIC
COAST AS ANOTHER NOREASTER BRINGING HEAVY SNOW TO THE NEW ENGLAND
AREA. OUT WEST A DEEP TROUGH WILL DEVELOP LEADING TO RIDGING
ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS WITH THE NORTHERN STREAM LIFTING INTO
SOUTHERN CANADA. SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL BRING WARMER TEMPS ACROSS THE
REGION BY THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. THE WESTERN TROUGH WILL
EVENTUALLY EJECT A SHORTWAVE OUT FROM THE DESERT SOUTHWEST TOWARDS
THE GREAT PLAINS...WHICH COULD BRING A CHANCE OF RAIN OR SNOW FOR
THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN THE MODELS ABILITY TO
HANDLE THIS FEATURE...SO HAVE KEPT ONLY 20/30POPS ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST.
