Snow fell across much of southern North Dakota last evening and through the early part of today. Many residents and crews spent the day shoveling and removing snowfall from roadways and sidewalks.

Live Storms Media stringer, Hunter Anderson, captured very heavy snow falling this Monday afternoon at Saint Cloud State University. Students and citizens ventured out into the first true winter storm in attempts to get to their destinations as the snow piled up. The scrapers and snow shovels were hard at work on campus.

Live Storms Media stringer, Zachary Hargrove, captured snow falling across the greater Bismark area on November 9th, 2014.

Live Storms Media stringer, Matthew Eckhoff, captures the first snowflakes of the season on the University of North Dakota campus. Parts of the area have seen around 1" of snow accumulate on the grassy surfaces as temperatures hover around the freezing mark near the noon hour. A passing cold front is responsible for the quick shot of snow.

Chris Rose captured heavy snow falling across portions of Virginia earlier today. Wind driven snowfall made travel very difficult as portions of the region received 6-10" snowfall totals. Further south into the Smokey Mountains, upwards of 2 feet fell on Mount LeConte in East Tennessee. Due to the weight of the snow, some trees and power lines came down causing outages. A hard freeze is on tap for these areas Saturday night. The snow on the ground will only make it that much worse.

LiveStormsMedia.com stringer, Shae Cohan captured images of high winds across parts of Central Illinois this evening where some trees were knocked down. Street signs were whipping and the lake was capping as the cold front brought wind gusts upwards of 50 mph. The first major freeze of the season is impacting much of the Great Lakes region with this system.

LiveStormsMedia.com stringer, Charles Russell shot the first snow of the season coming down in heavy fashion in the Greenville area of west-central Michigan on Oct. 31st, 2014. The snow is not expected to be much of a nuisance, but it certainly is coming down heavy in spots. Travel problems are expected to be minimal with the main impacts being the colder temperatures and windy conditions.

August 31st 2014 will be a day that Live Storms Media storm chaser Danny Murphy will never forget. He encountered a tornadic thunderstorm that was filled with electricity with lightning strikes taking place nearly every second. Unfortunately, while documenting the storm, Danny was struck by what is referred to as a 'Step Leader' from the main lightning bolt seen just feet away. Luckily he survived the experience, but did suffer neurological and physical injuries from the lightning interaction, which left him in a Sioux City, Iowa hospital for 10 days.
