Northern Wisconsin and across Minnesota, in fact, this is where there is a significant shot of cold air coming down out of Canada behind the storm, so feeling more like February than the middle of March here for the Saint Patrick's Day. There will be some snow showers as well picking up across portions of southwestern North Dakota through South Dakota and northern Nebraska for today. And a couple of snow showers also moving across central Colorado through northern New Mexico for the day as well.
