This was the first big snow event of the winter season, and it was a Colorado Low. These are traditionally bigger snow producers for the northern plains than Alberta Clippers or hybrid low pressure systems. This system was no exception, as it dropped from 6 to 11 inches of snow over southeast North Dakota and portions of west central and northwest Minnesota. Wind speeds gusted to 30 mph frequently from Saturday evening (1st) into Sunday morning (2nd), producing blowing and drifting snow and visibilities less than a quarter mile at times in exposed areas. With the warm ground temperatures, surfaces did become slick. The highest snow total, 11 inches, occurred at Wadena, Minnesota. This event began late on November 30th and continued into the first part of this month. Since many drivers were not accustomed to winter driving yet, there were quite a few vehicle accidents.
