This Weekend's Winter Storm Will Leave A Fluffy Snow Blanket

Most of Minnesota and Wisconsin will see snowfall amounts ranging from 3-6 inches with isolated areas of higher accumulations starting on Saturday and ending Sunday morning. Climatologist Kenny Blumenfeld says this system will resemble a “gentle snow globe” and lacks the punch of other storms we’ve experienced during the current snow season.

Blumenfeld says the winter has thus far been on the warmer and snowier end of the climate spectrum.

“Somewhat oddly, we’ve not had much of a winter although we’ve managed to have a decent amount of snow,” says Blumenfeld.

“Through January 15th, Twin Cities total snowfall is ranking 15th out of 100 and some for most snowfall to date for the season,” says Blumenfeld, “and Duluth is similarly high.”

While temperatures will dip this weekend, once the storm system exits the region more mild weather will return, according to Blumenfeld.
