It’s not over, yet.
Another pair of weather systems will bring measurable snow this week, with snowfall beginning this afternoon and lingering through the Tuesday morning commute.
Welcome back from Spring Break, St. Michael-Albertville families!
It’s no joke – the Wright County area could see up to 8 inches of new snow by Tuesday. And for those who drive into the Twin Cities metro for work, both the morning and evening commutes could be tough sledding.
Here’s the “Special Weather Statement” from the National Weather Service in Chanhassen:
TWO PERIODS OF LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW WITH SEVERAL INCHES EXPECTED FROM TODAY INTO EARLY TUESDAY EVENING… TWO ROUNDS OF SNOW WILL OCCUR THROUGH TUESDAY, ONE TODAY AND THE OTHER LATE TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY EVENING. THE ROUND TODAY WILL OCCUR OVER CENTRAL MINNESOTA INTO NORTHWEST WISCONSIN. ACCUMULATIONS OF AROUND 3 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE. WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR FREEZING, SOME OF IT MAY MELT AS IT HITS THE GROUND. HOWEVER, ROADS MAY ICE UP THIS EVENING AS TEMPERATURES DROP INTO THE 20S. AFTER A BREAK THIS EVENING, MORE SNOW WILL DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY, MAINLY SOUTH OF A LINE FROM MORRIS, TO SAINT CLOUD, TO RUSH CITY.
