Christmas Storm Expected

A major storm is gathering strength in the western United States, and is headed for the Borderland.

The National Weather Services in the U.S. has issued a winter weather warning for all of Minnesota.

Snow is expected to begin across central and northeastern Minnesota tomorrow morning, spreading northward toward International Falls and Fort Frances.

The snow is expected to become heavy at times on Christmas Eve and continuing into Christmas night.

Environmental Canada says we could see between 15 and 25 centimetres while the National Weather Service says total snow accumulations could be between 10 to 14 inches with some locally heavier likely for areas near Lake Superior.

Strong winds and falling snow may result in blowing and drifting snow, reducing visibility on area highways making travel hazardous.
