Overview
|
Heavy Rain and heavy snow caused flooding, closed schools and power outages. the rain and snow began late Tuesday night, March 15th and continued into Thursday morning March 17th. All of the snow began as rain late Tuesday night. The rain quickly switched over to snow in most of northeast Minnesota, but remained as rain for most of the day near Lake Superior in Duluth and in northwestern Wisconsin. Heavy, wet snow caused extremely slippery roads and brought down trees, limbs and power lines. Many schools were cancelled on Wednesday. The abundant rainfall caused flooding of roads and culverts, especially in northwestern Wisconsin. |
