Snow, blowing snow, and possible near-blizzard conditions at times will be possible today, as well as the potential for flash freezing on roadways and surfaces as temperatures plummet this afternoon behind an Arctic front.
National Weather Service
Plan on slippery road conditions. Patchy blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening commute. The dangerously cold wind chills could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes.
Pete Hanson is on 98.1 Minnesota's New Country weekday mornings from 5:30 to 10:00.
