Midwest Winter Storm Smashed Snow Records in Wisconsin, With Blizzard Conditions from Minnesota to Michigan

Below are the latest winter weather alerts. Areas shaded in pink are in blizzard warnings, where travel is not recommended.

A major winter storm is hammering the upper Midwest with blizzard conditions and dangerous travel from Minnesota and Iowa to northern Michigan and has even set at least one all-time snowfall record in parts of Wisconsin.

As expected, this winter storm has already generated prolific snow totals in parts of the Midwest. From extreme southeast Minnesota into central and northeastern Wisconsin into parts of the eastern Upper Peninsula and extreme northern Lower Michigan have picked up at least 20 inches of snow, so far.

Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, reported 33 inches of snow, so far, while two other locations in Michigan's western Upper Peninsula reported 30 to 31 inches of snowfall.

Wausau, Wisconsin, already smashed its all-time record snowiest single day in 130 years Sunday, with 23.4 inches measured, according to the National Weather Service. That's almost three times their March monthly average and over a third of their yearly average in one storm. While not a record, Sunday was also Green Bay's snowiest single day - 17.1 inches - in 137 years, since Jan. 9, 1889. Iona smashed many other 2- or 3-day snowstorm records in that 20-inch-plus swath mentioned above.

Sections of Interstates 90 and 35 have been shut down in southwest Minnesota and northern Iowa, while travel is not advised on many roads in eastern, northeastern, and western Wisconsin, including stretches of Interstates 41 and 43 in the Fox Valley.

Monday, the strong low will shove the cold front rapidly into the East, but snow will last through the afternoon in much of the western Great Lakes before tapering off Monday night.

Precipitation may change from rain to a quick burst of snow in the Ohio Valley and Appalachians. Along much of the East Coast, this will be a rain event, with strong to severe thunderstorms packing damaging winds possible from parts of the Northeast to the Carolinas.
