State Patrol Crash Totals Saturday, Sunday

UNDATED (WJON News) -- We didn't get a lot of snow, but there was enough of the white stuff to cause problems on the roads.

The National Weather Service in Chanhassen says the Twin Cities officially had four-tenths of an inch of snow on Saturday night.  Before the change over to snow, there was some light freezing rain as well.

Here in the tri-county area, the Benton County Sheriff's Office posted on social media that the county's highway department was sending out the trucks to sand and salt the roads on Saturday night.
