Our next clipper system is lined up for Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday. A little light snow in parts of the Northland Tuesday afternoon with some more snow possible on Wednesday, also on Wednesday winds could turn out of the east, and with cold air in place, some lake enhanced snow will be possible along the North Shore of Lake Superior in northeast Minnesota.

Note: Last night’s snow event underachieved in the immediate Duluth area with snowfall totals not even reaching an inch at the Airport (0.7 inches) There were some 2-3 inch totals around the Brainerd Lakes area, otherwise snowfall amounts were generally capped off around an inch across northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin. One of the bigger surprises was the freezing rain and freezing drizzle which affected parts of the Northland early this morning which produced a light glaze of ice on top of the snow.
