freezing rain

You just endured - survived - enjoyed the snowiest winter since accurate weather records were first started in Duluth back in 1885. Today will bring high winds, serious icing and a changeover back to snow, with heaviest accumulation north and west of the Twin Ports.

Our wintry occupation shows signs of fading away by the weekend with a streak of 50s early next week, even a slight chance of tasting 60 degrees! Big weather changes are on the way - finally.

We will experience almost every kind of weather over the next 36 hours: snow, glaze ice, sleet, thunder and lightning and winds gusting as high as 60 mph. After this wintry tantrum spring arrives, with the flick of a switch, next week with a streak of 50s.

It's still early, but a combination of ice, snow, and high winds may result in treacherous travel conditions by the middle of next week, with blizzard or near-blizzard conditions a very real possibility.

The National Weather Service in Duluth wanted to remind everyone that updated road conditions in both Minnesota and Wisconsin are always at your fingertips.

You don't see this every day!
