Winter is still more than a month away, but it doesn't feel like it
Up to 16 inches of accumulating snow is forecast Tuesday for parts of northern Wisconsin, and up to 2 feet is expected in Michigan's Upper Peninsula by Wednesday. Both areas have already seen as much as a foot of snow this week.
Terri Sommerfeld, a clerk at Ace Hardware in Webster, Wisconsin, said the store usually sells six or seven snow blowers in a typical winter. That's how many the store has sold in two days.
"It hasn't been overly busy today, but the ones that are coming are buying snow blowers and shovels," she said.
The cold air coming with the snow will be around for a while, said Joe Calderone, a senior forecaster for the National Weather Service.

And now, the cold
After the snow comes the cold.
The Rockies and Upper Midwest were on Tuesday getting the first icy touch of arctic air flowing south, and the rest of the Midwest and the East can expect a dose later in the week with temperatures forecast as much as 40 degrees below average.
The frigid air was pushed in by a powerful storm that hit Alaska with hurricane-force winds over the weekend. [Full story]]

From meteorologist Paul Huttner:
Storm delivers heavy snow north, messy metro mix
UpdraftWell this is fun! The season’s first winter storm dumped heavy snow as expected from the northern Twin Cities metro to St, Cloud and along I-35 toward Hinckley. It also threw the central and southern metro a curve with less snow than forecast, but made up for that in impact with a mix of sleet and freezing… -
