An unseasonable winter storm system dropped more than a foot (30 cm) of snow across the central Plains and the upper Midwest on Thursday, closing roads and causing power outages in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The system has resulted in about 18 inches (46 cm) of snow falling in parts of northwest Wisconsin and more than 15 inches (38 cm) in southern Minnesota, according to the National Weather Service reported.
“The northernmost areas have seen snow in May before, but not of this magnitude,” said Jim Keeney, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service.
