A proper snow storm! Many around the metro picking up 4-6". A few areas even a bit more than that!

Some icy and snowy roads this morning. Give yourself the time you need. A lot of cars in ditches and a handful of accidents. A NEXT DRIVE ALERT this AM. @WCCO #mnwx #wiwx 🌨️☃️ pic.twitter.com/0iu1iWrW9f
