Strong low pressure moved out of the southern high plains toward eastern Wisconsin. Heavy snow and strong winds tracked from southwest and west central Minnesota into west central Wisconsin. There was a wide swath of 6 to 10 inches of snow, most of which fell prior to 1600 CST. During the afternoon of the 23rd and into the early morning hours of the 24th, winds gusted around 35 mph creating near-blizzard conditions, chiefly in open country of western and southern Minnesota.  Many counties recommended no travel, and numerous schools were closed. Several hundred accidents occurred, especially around the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area.  The top snowfall total, 10 inches, fell at Canby, Long Prairie, Little Falls, and Onamia.  Eight inches were registered at Dawson, Benson, Willmar, Buffalo and Milaca. Six inches were reported as far south as St. James, Mankato, and Savage.
