First Winter Storm of Season

The first snow storm of the season hit the Midwest, particularly Minnesota and Wisconsin.  There were some 400 traffic accidents reported in Minnesota with one leading to the death of two people that occurred in Northern Wisconsin.  The storm dumped some 11 inches of snow in the Eden Prairie region of the Twin Cities and 10 inches in Forest Lake near Mankato, Minnesota.    In Northern Wisconsin, in Bayfield county they received are 5-6 inches of snow and all of it contributed to deteriorating road conditions quite quickly.  This is a case where education is important regarding winter weather and especially how to drive in it.  Many people are unaware of certain tactics when driving on icy or snowy roads and so the right education might prevent more accidents in the future however the first storms of the season are always the worst as everyone has to relearn winter driving all over again.  Fortunately the snow is said to not stick around very long as the mild weather will bring us green grass for another week.
