Back-to-back storms across the northern U.S. should produce significant snow, starting later Wednesday, from the northern Plains into the upper Great Lakes States.
The second storm system, expected to reach peak intensity over the weekend or early next week, has the potential to double season-to-date snowfall totals in parts of the upper Midwest. In addition, wind-driven snow from both storms could complicate rural travel and lead to hardship for Northern cattle, especially newborns.
