I’m keeping an eye on two snow events for late this week. The first comes on Thursday, the second sometime Friday-early Saturday.

High temperature forecast for Wednesday, December 11.
…Weather Summary…
An arctic airmass covered the Northland today with even colder air pushing south into the area for tonight. 850mb temperatures at 6 PM Tuesday ranged from -20 to -24C with an area of -26 to -30C H85 temps sitting just north of Minnesota early this evening.
Clear to partly cloudy skies tonight with even colder temperatures compared to last night. Lows tonight will be in the teens and 20s below with a few 30s below even possible in the typical cold spots. Winds will be out of the west at 5 to 15 mph.
Cold on Wednesday with highs in the single digits below to single digits above zero. Partly cloudy skies are expected with winds out of the west at 10 to 15 mph.
Clouds increase Wednesday night which will help keep temperatures from falling too much, but we’re still likely to have lows in the single digits and teens below zero over most of the Northland.
Some snow may begin to affect parts of the area later Wednesday night with some snow also possible on Thursday as a clipper type system moves SE out of the Northern Plains. There is also a chance for a little lake effect snow on Thursday along the North Shore of Lake Superior with a period of east winds possible.
Another snow event may impact parts of the Northland Friday-early Saturday.
