Too soon? The National Weather Service of Duluth says another storm is set for the second half of the week, which may bring more "significant snowfall" and strong winds.
Some of us are cheering on a Top 10 or Top 5 Winter Snowfall Record for the Twin Ports and Northland, but every additional inch of snow increases the potential for serious spring flooding, and that threat continues to rise.
Winter Storm Watches and Hazardous Weather Outlooks were issued during the weekend as the winter storm is expected to begin as early as Sunday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service of Duluth, the system will move in Sunday (February 26th) with most snow falling throughout the day on Monday.
A potentially historic blizzard is approaching parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin and the National Weather Service has issued Winter Storm Warnings and Blizzard Warnings.
On a scale of 1-5, the storm later this week will be a "Category 4", capable of near-blizzard conditions and even coastal flooding and beach erosion on Lake Superior, due to sustained winds of 30-50 mph for 1-2 days. The heaviest snows will stay south, but more plowable snow is on the way.
