Unfortunately, it is no April Fools joke, this week we are under a winter storm watch with an expected six inches of snow. “We’re anticipating some rain and weather coming in tomorrow. The National Weather Service has the winter storm watch until 9 am Thursday morning I believe.

Environment Canada has issued a winter storm watch for the Thunder Bay, Cloud Bay, and Kakabeka Falls areas, where 20 to 30 centimetres of snow could fall later this week. The snow is expected to begin Wednesday morning, and last through to Thursday morning, Environment Canada said.

The powerful storm is expected to bring heavy snow into Minnesota by early Tuesday, spreading east-northeast throughout the day and lasting through most of the day Wednesday. How much snow? This is the Monday morning outlook from the National Weather Service as the system is set to arrive early Tuesday and depart by early Thursday.
