Closings, delays issued for dozens of Minnesota schools amid winter storm threat

Dozens of schools in Minnesota have issued closings or delays ahead of the anticipated winter blast Wednesday morning, though the latest forecast calls for a shift in which parts of the state are likely to receive the brunt of the snow.

As of 7:30 a.m., at least 26 schools were reporting closings or delays of some type.

Wednesday forecast for Minnesota calls for snow down south

The trajectory of a spring snowstorm headed for Minnesota shifted overnight, taking the Twin Cities out of the target zone. Southern Minnesota, however, could still see blizzard conditions.

Snow effects remain on track for cities like Red Wing and Zumbrota to Owatanna. Blowing snow could lead to whiteout conditions across that region.

The storm should hit the state before 8 a.m., continuing into the afternoon before eventually petering out. Accumulations in affected areas could still be impressive.
