Special Weather Statement issued December 4 at 3:13AM CST by NWS Duluth MN
Snow squalls are possible today late morning through early evening as a cold front moves across the Northland. Affected locations will see rapidly changing weather and road conditions with brief heavy snow and northwest winds gusting to 40 miles per hour. A quick snow accumulation of 1 or 2 inches is possible. Be prepared for areas of blowing snow. This could lead to rapid and localized reductions in visibility down to one quarter of a mile. If you are traveling and encounter adverse winter driving conditions...reduce speed and make sure headlights are on.
