What’s New
The National Weather Service said at least 17 states across the Northern United States experienced some level of snowfall in the last day.
Newsweek has mapped snowfall across the U.S. in the last 24 hours, according to data from the NWS.
Why It Matters
Early Friday morning, several states received winter weather advisories from the NWS, and winter storm warnings had been issued for parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The NWS says that winter storm warnings are issued “when a significant combination of hazardous winter weather is occurring or imminent.”
What To Know
NWS data showed that the highest amount of snow recorded over the last 24 hours was in Montana, where one isolated part of the state saw 18 inches of snowfall.
Regions of Idaho and Washington saw 12 inches fall within the same time period, the data found. Regions of North Dakota saw 8 inches of snow and, in Minnesota, 6 inches were recorded.
In Vermont, and New Hampshire, up to 4 inches was recorded by the NWS.
Some areas of Wyoming, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, and Maine saw 3 inches of snowfall.
Two inches of snow were recorded in Ohio, and, in Iowa and Massachusetts, the NWS data showed that 1 inch was recorded.
What People Are Saying
Mitchel Ryan Coombs, meteorologist for NBC Montana wrote on X, formerly Twitter, Thursday: “Tonight, isolated mountain snow and valley wintry mix showers will develop across northwest Montana.
“Impacts should stay minor; the greatest concern will be for patches of black ice from freezing rain for Friday morning’s commute.”
NWS Twin Cities meteorologist Paige Veserat previously told Newsweek: Veserat cautioned that another storm system might move through the area on Sunday, though significant snowfall is unlikely.
Broadcaster Cathy Wurzer wrote on X: “The snow is getting thick here in downtown St Paul. Highways are a mess.
“It’s a slow go today as the first big winter storm moves across Minnesota/Wisconsin.”
Chris Reece, meteorologist at KSTP, said on X Thursday: “Our winter storm is right on time, and moving into Minnesota as we speak. Conditions go downhill overnight with widespread heavy snow during the morning commute.
“Let’s have some fun, and be safe!” Reece added.
What Happens Next
The NWS said earlier on Friday morning that the winter storm warnings for some regions of Wisconsin were in place until 9 a.m. CST this morning.
