Snow Fall and Winter storm warnings have been issued by weather offices in both Ontario and Minnesota for the Rainy River district and Koochiching County.
Arnold Ashton of Environment Canada says its due to a low pressure system that's moved into the area.
"Actually it's a bit moisture starved," says Ashton. "During the day today the snow will get a little more organized and fall a bit more steadily. We'll get several centimetres accumulated today with the bulk of it falling tonight.
Today's snow will taper off by tomorrow morning, but Ashton says it will be followed by a second one that will bring even more snow on New Year's Eve.
