The heaviest snow in Wisconsin fell in the northern part of the state, near the south shore of Lake Superior.

St. Cloud has now had 4.8 inches of snow total so far this season.  Normally, we'd have about 6.4 inches of snow by this point.  We're 1.6 inches below normal.

Another big weather factor during the Tuesday storm was the wind. The National Weather Service says St. Cloud had a peak wind gust of 44 miles an hour.  Wind gusts over 50 miles an hour were reported in several communities in southwestern Minnesota, including a 56-mile-an-hour gust in Tracy at 8:00 p.m.

Thanksgiving Day looks quiet but cold, with another chance for accumulating snow arriving late on Friday into Saturday.
