January 14, 2014 Winter Storm
|
Overview An intense weather system moved through the region from late Monday, January 13th into the evening of January 14th. Across southern Minnesota and northern Iowa, snowfall totals were fairly light, but strong northwest winds gusting between 40 and 50 mph produced widespread blowing, drifting, and near white out conditions occasionally. On the Wisconsin side, the snowfall was heavier, especially north of Interstate 90. A heavy snow axis set up near and along Interstate 94 when the storm spiraled and slowed dropping a second area of heavy snow during the morning and early afternoon. This led to numerous accidents, including some major pileups on Interstate 94. Impacts:
