Wider weather episode

A winter storm produced heavy snow, strong winds, and blizzard conditions across parts of the Northland from Tuesday November 26 through Thanksgiving, Thursday November 27. The storm began as a mix of rain and snow during the day Tuesday, transitioning to all snow Tuesday evening. Snowfall rates of over one inch per hour occured in areas from the Brainerd Lakes area to the Twin Ports/I-35 corridor and into northwest Wisconsin, with strong winds gusting to 40 to 50 mph causing blowing snow to reduce visibility and leading to drifting snow even well after the snow ended in northeast Minnesota on Wednesday morning. Lake-effect snow continued in northwest Wisconsin through Wednesday and lingering into Thursday morning, with blizzard conditions at times on Wednesday across parts of northwest Wisconsin - especially eastern Douglas County and the higher elevation terrain of Bayfield, Ashland, and Iron counties.
