An early snowstorm hits parts of the upper Midwest today and is expected to drop 6-12 includes in some places of North Dakota and Minnesota. The first snowfall of the season is usually the hardest for drivers as they have not experienced slippery road conditions in 8 months. Wind gusts of up to 45 miles per hour are also expected to make it blizzard conditions, which drivers should take caution before leaving the house. Excel has also reported power outages to as many as 6,500 people in the Fargo region for 6 hours. This early October snowstorm is uncharacteristic of the unusually warm winter experienced last year. Nevertheless, people should be smart and safe when there is a winter storm warning in effect.
