Snowstorm aiming at Midwest, Northeast freight markets

Feb 18, 2020 at 09:06 AM CST

A low pressure system in the central Great Plains will move through the Midwest the rest of today and tonight, dumping moderate to heavy snowfall mainly in the northern Great Lakes. The heaviest snowfall should remain north of Chicago, Milwaukee and Detroit. Snow accumulations of 2 to 5 inches could impact drivers on several major interstate highways, including I-80, I-90 and I-94, just to name a few. Localized snow totals of 6 to 8 inches are possible, especially in northern lower Michigan, eastern portions of Michigan’s upper peninsula, and southern Wisconsin; some spots in southeastern Canada near the U.S. border could see more than 8 inches.
