Winter storm gradually exits the eastern Corn Belt

Across the Corn Belt, snow is falling early Wednesday from the middle Mississippi Valley into Michigan. Cold, breezy conditions trail the storm system, with Wednesday morning’s low temperatures falling to near 0° in parts of the upper Midwest. According to USDA/NASS, the corn harvest is 61% complete in North Dakota, as the end of February approaches.

On the Plains, cold weather prevails. Early Wednesday, temperatures have fallen to sub-zero levels across parts of the northern Plains, stretching as far south as western Nebraska.
