The second round of significant winter weather is underway across
the High Plains through Upper Midwest this morning. Widespread
major winter storm impacts are expected as snow rates may exceed
over 2" per hour across a broad region of the High Plains through
Thursday. In all, storm-total snowfall of 12-24" is expected
stretching from South Dakota through north-central Michigan.
Locally higher snowfall smounts are possible, especially across
southern Minnesota. Heavy snow accompanied by high winds will
create prolonged blizzard conditions across much of the High
Plains. Travel conditions will be difficult to nearly impossible
due to low visibility and high snowfall rates. In the wake of this
system, frigid temperatures are expected for much of the High
Plains, with wind chills possibly reaching -20F for some spots. In
addition to the heavy snow and cold, significant icing is expected
from central Iowa through regions of southern Michigan. Ice
accretions of 0.25" or greater are possible across this area.

The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 900 PM CST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
