The Northland got an early start on the winter season this year; with record cold temperatures starting the month, and a snowstorm bringing heavy snow the day before Thanksgiving. Predictions from forecasters suggested the first of two storms to end the month of November would bring 6-10 inches of snow to most places, and those prognostications proved to be generally accurate.
