Two Dangerous Storms Will Hammer Down on Parts of Western Canada/Northern US States of Montana / the Dokota's and Minnesota.
Winter may have taken a vacation last year, but looks like he's back to his angry, clingy, and annoying self this year. (Kind of the uninvited party guest that just never leaves.)
2 winter storms will effect parts of Western Canada (as well as the Northern United States) brining HUGE amounts of snow, potential blizzard conditions and extremely cold air. Wind chills of upwards of -30 are possible.
