Winter Storm Warning In Effect Until Noon...

*taken from weatherbug

"Expect a slow commute this morning. Heavy wet snow will continue to accumulate at rates of around an inch an hour through mid morning in south central into east central Minnesota. Heavy snow could linger into the early afternoon in western Wisconsin. Thundersnow will be possible early this morning from the Albert Lea area to Red Wing then toward Durand and Eau Claire. Snow could briefly fall at rates of 2 Inches an hour in these areas. Visibility will drop to around a half mile in the heavier bands of snow.

Total snow accumulations are forecast to range from 5 To 8 Inches.

Slushy... Wet... Slippery snow will greet morning commuters. Drivers are strongly urged to allow extra time and care if traveling. Northeast winds gusting to 35 mph will contribute to low visibility in falling snow."

**Can someone please tell me what "thundersnow" is???

If ya'll want to imagine how heavy the snow was at around 1:30am this morning, think New Year's Eve after the ball drops in Times Square in New York...y'know the thickness of all that floating confetti??? That was last night. Yes, 'twas like a New Year's celebration New York style...
