Overview
|
An early season winter storm brought slippery to hazardous holiday travel conditions to the region on the night of Tuesday, November 26th through the day on Wednesday the 27th. Precipitation moved in from the south southwest starting by late afternoon, spreading north through the night. Relatively warm temperatures at the surface resulting in a sharp cutoff to where snow or rain fell, with a narrow avenue where a mix was more likely. The heavy snows impacted southeast Minnesota into northern Wisconsin where 6 to 10" fell. To the east and south of there, the snow quickly transitioned to rain with little if any accumulations. The bulk of the snow fell by early Wednesday morning, just in time for strong northwest winds to kick in. Gusts from 40 to 50 mph were common across much of the area, knocking down branches covered in heavy snow while creating additional hazards for motorists. The winds eventually diminished by early Wednesday evening. |
