A winter wonderland graces parts of the Northland this Monday morning, with a fresh layer of wet, slushy snow blanketing the landscape.
In the lower elevations near Lake Superior, minimal snow accumulation was observed early this morning, which is typical for early and late-season snow events, despite the transition from rain to snow for a few hours earlier today. However, traveling to higher elevation areas quickly revealed snow accumulation.
