Overview
|
A historic winter storm moved into the Upper Midwest Saturday evening March 14, 2026 and continued to impact the area through the morning of Monday, March 16. Initially, the storm brought heavy snow of up to 20 inches Saturday night into Sunday morning along a band just north of Interstate 90. Just south, a wintry mix of freezing rain and sleet fell along and near the Interstate 90 corridor where 1-2 inches of sleet accumulated. Cloud-to-ground lightning strikes were common at times in thundersnow and thundersleet. Much of the region was impacted with Interstates 35, 80, and 94 closed for a period of time Sunday and Sunday night. Locally, Interstate 94 was closed for a period Sunday north of Black River Falls WI. Roads became impassable in the heavy snow band north of I-90 and reports of 3-5 foot drifts were common.
