The final piece of energy associated with the large circulation of
the deep low pressure system is expected to move across northern
Minnesota and the upper Great Lakes through tonight.  As the deep
low continues to move further away into Canada, the remaining snow
across northern Minnesota is expected to gradually taper off on
Thursday.  Across the Arrowhead of Michigan, an additional 6
inches of new snow is possible before the snow tapers off on
Thursday due to enhancing effects from the relative warm waters of
Lake Superior.  Elsewhere across northern Minnesota, northern
Wisconsin and upper portion of Michigan, a couple additional
inches of new snow can be expected today.  Gusty winds will
continue to gradually diminish heading into Thursday.

This will be the last Storm Summary issued by the Weather
Prediction Center for this event. Please refer to your local
National Weather service office for additional information.
