IRON MOUNTAIN — Still more snow is in this week’s forecast as dangerous cold blanketed the Upper Midwest today after some parts of the region endured a weekend blizzard.

Locally, 9 inches of snow fell from Friday night through Sunday at the Iron Mountain-Kingsford Wastewater Treatment Plant observer site, unofficially putting this month’s snow total above the record 36.8 inches that fell in 1962.

Many schools were either closed or delayed today, partly due to wind chills reaching to 20 below zero. A winter weather advisory was in effect until 10 a.m., with blowing and drifting snow creating slippery road conditions, said the National Weather Service in Marquette.

The forecast calls for more snow — possibly 1 to 3 inches — beginning Tuesday night and ending around noon Wednesday. High temperatures will be about 10 today and 12 on Tuesday.

Elsewhere, blizzard conditions for Alger, northern Schoolcraft and Luce counties were expected to diminish this morning.

The Weather Service posted wind chill advisories or warnings today for much of the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin. The combination of low temperatures and wind was making it feel like the minus 40s in northern North Dakota and northern Minnesota.

Several highways remain closed or blocked in southern Minnesota after the weekend storm dumped about a foot of snow in some places.
