Overview
|
A winter weather system produced widespread snow accumulations from the afternoon of March 9th into the early morning hours of Friday, March 10th. The heaviest snow fell from extreme eastern Minnesota into western and central Wisconsin, including numerous reports of 6-8 inches of new snow. The precipitation was mainly snow but during the afternoon of Thursday, March 9th, most of the snow melted as it fell, especially on roads. As temperatures cooled late in the day, accumulations increased which impacted travel all the way into the morning of the 10th. |
