•Winter Storm Xyler will spread snow to the southern Great Lakes Saturday.

•Some areas will also see snow into next week.

•Below-average temperatures are expected from the Rockies into the Great Lakes region.

It may be late April, but Winter Storm Xyler will make you forget that it is spring in the Midwest this weekend as it is expected to bring some unusually heavy late season snowfall.

Farmers need to plant. They have to wait for freezes to stop and for the resulting melt from the snowfall to dry up. We already lost lots of animals and crops in Nebraska and neighboring states.
