Many parts of the Northland woke up this morning to our first test of winter driving along with our first coat of snow on the ground. Fortunately for us we are going to see temperatures slowly climb by the end of the week. Weather conditions will be rather dry the rest of the week.

Breezy conditions will continue to make the temperatures feel as if they are in the teens and 20s through Thursday. There is a small chance of seeing a wintry mix this weekend beginning Friday. As the Minnesota deer firearms season begins it doesn’t look like there will be much snow on the ground. A continued chance for light snow carries into next week. There just doesn’t appear to be much snow in the next week.
