March 2014 Going Out Like a Lion With a Messy Winter Storm

Springtime snowstorms are hard to predict, because a couple degrees is the difference between ice, snow, and rain. Monday's storm is proving no different. In any case, the National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory until 10 am Tuesday.

At this point, the heaviest snowfall is still expected north and west of the Twin Ports. Areas on the Iron Range and along the Canadian border could see 10-16 inches of snow, while the Twin Ports region has a greater chance of seeing freezing rain, then snow.

Up to a quarter of an inch of ice could coat everything before snowfall starts, as freezing rain pushes into the area during the day on Monday. Freezing rain will eventually change over to snow, bringing the chance of 2-4 inches of snow overnight and into Tuesday morning.

The combination of freezing rain followed by snow and windy conditions will make for hazardous driving. Icy, snow-covered roads with low visibility can be expected, and extreme caution should be used if driving is necessary.
