Late-Season Snow Moves Through Upper Midwest

A late-season winter storm will continue to rage across the northern Plains and western Great Lakes, bringing another six or more inches of fresh snow today and Friday.
The heavy snow hitting Nebraska, South Dakota and central Minnesota is the result of a large low pressure system moving northeast across the central Plains and into the Great Lakes. On this system`s rear flank, cold air is streaming southward out of Canada. This will combine with Gulf of Mexico moisture to produce heavy snow as the storm progresses into southern Ontario by the end of the week.
