Snow Falling Through Friday
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Minnesota started to take another swing at record snow totals Thursday with snow that will linger into the day on Friday. It's not a massive storm, but it could cause some delays and headaches on the roads as people travel to see family.
We are only 1 1/2 inches away from pulling into second place for the snowiest December on record. We need 4 1/2 inches to wear the crown for first place.
Drivers who are driving north are in the clear. It won't even snow in parts of northern Minnesota.
However, drivers who are heading west, southwest or south may have some issues.
The Twin Cities could see a few inches with the southwestern suburbs scoring the most snow.
The heaviest bands will fall from west central Minnesota through south central Minnesota (picture a line from Morris down through Albert Lea). These areas could see 3 to 5 inches with a few towns nudging toward 6 inches.
At least the wind will be light so we are dealing with falling snow, not blowing and drifting snow. It will taper off throughout the day on Friday and leave us dry this weekend.
It will be cooler with highs only in the teens by Sunday, but at least the roads will be fine for travel.
