We have two main rounds of snow Monday and Tuesday with our latest winter storm. A winter storm warning stretches from the Dakotas through central Minnesota into northern Wisconsin with a winter weather advisory north and south of that.

It will also be a rather chilly week. The normal high is in the low 30s south and low 20s north. This week however, high temperatures will be in the teens south and single digits to near zero in the north. Temperature should make a return to normal next week.
