Early Sunday morning it started snowing in Eau Claire and it didn't stop for a full 24 hours. All told Eau Claire got a full 14.3 inches of snow. According to the the Leader-Telegram "A full residential plowing operation is in currently in progress. Because of the amount of snow and need to re-plow the arterial streets following additional snowfall in the early morning hours, the full residential plowing is expected to take longer than normal to complete. The residential plowing is anticipated to be completed between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Monday afternoon."
The bad weather grounded flights out of Minneapolis, and there were numerous weather related traffic accidents "including a jackknifed semi that closed a westbound lane of Interstate 94 near Menomonie about 2 a.m. Monday."
The sustained snowfall is indicative of a cold front and an extra tropical cyclone.
