The storm that keeps on giving!
The changeover to snow occurred as expected overnight. Heavy snow bursts dropped visibilities and laid down a quick 2" to 4" in the metro.
Expect snow to taper from the south in the Twin Cities for a while this morning, whil the storm rages north and west of the metro.
As you would expect, travel is very difficult from the metro north & west.
Plan plenty of extra time today!
