CLIPPER #2 FORECAST ADJUSTMENT:
Due to a southerly shift in the storm's track, the second clipper system pushing through the Northland will bring less snowfall than what I was forecasting 24 hours earlier.
Still expecting some difficult driving conditions the rest of today south of Highway 2.

It's been a few days since I have posted, but the winter weather has continued across the region.

Happy Wednesday afternoon from the Northland!
The sunshine has returned to the region, but it also means it is colder due to a new surge of arctic air.
Breezy northwest winds will make it feel like it's below zero, with actual air temperatures in this range tonight.

Welcome to the start of December and meteorological winter, and it definitely feels like the new season with below average temperatures.
At least we are getting some peeks of sunshine out there, but not much.

It isn't often that we get Snow Squall Warnings issued in the Northland, but that is the case this afternoon.
The biggest concern for a brief shot of heavy snowfall will be along Highway 35 around the Douglas/Burnett county line.
