Monday Evening Northland Forecast: 2/10/2025

Very Cold and Very Dry
Karl Spring,

There is a saying that sometimes it’s just too cold to snow. That’s not entirely accurate. It can practically snow at any temperature below the mid 30s. What is more of a factor is the origin of the airmass. Oftentimes, the winter storms that bring the most snowfall to the Northland come out of the panhandle of Oklahoma. They tap…

Extreme Cold Warning
Karl Spring,

The National Weather Service is using a new product this winter, called an Extreme Cold Warning. It’s pretty self-explanatory. And they have issued one for most of the Northland, which will be in effect from 6pm Saturday night, til Noon on Tuesday. It includes all of the FOX 21 TV viewing area in northern MN and WI, but it does…
