Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin.

A fast-moving clipper will bring a round of accumulating snow to 

the Northland today into this evening. Snow accumulation of a 

dusting up to around 2 inches are expected. Visibility may drop 

below 1 mile during the period of heaviest snow. There is a 10 to 

20 percent chance of freezing drizzle this afternoon and tonight

County.

Lake-effect snow will continue Wednesday over northern Bayfield,
