If you’re dipping your turkey into a pot of boiling oil – you may have to shovel off a spot.
That’s according to the latest from the National Weather Service – which has issued a Winter Storm Warning for much of Minnesota, including all of Wright County.
While the storm is still expected to have its greatest impact in northern Minnesota – a line from Alexandria west to Hayward, Wisconsin and then north to the North Shore – Wright
County could still see “plowable” snow amounts of 3-6 inches.
Here’s the latest Warning from NWS:
