As the deep low pressure system continues to track into
southeastern Canada, snow will gradually taper off across the
northern Plains into the upper Midwest through tonight.  However,
very gusty winds behind the low pressure system in conjunction
with a reinforcing surge of arctic air blowing over the fresh
snow-covered grounds are expected to create blizzard-like
conditions for portions of the northern Plains and the upper
Midwest through tonight.  Meanwhile, a period of snow is forecast
to spread northward through northern New England today before
changing over to rain or mixed rain/snow by this evening.  Even
though the deep low will move farther away on Sunday, lake-effect
snows and very gusty winds are forecast to linger near the Great
Lakes as arctic air overspreads much of the eastern two-thirds of
the country.

The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 900 AM CST Sunday. Please refer to your local National
Weather Service office for additional information on this event.
