Snowfall in the Twin Cities (KSTP)
While strong wind could still create difficult driving conditions later in the day, gusts will drop from around 35 mph to 20 mph Thursday afternoon. However, it will likely take plow crews some time to get the roads cleared after the snow stops. And remember, many cities have snow emergencies in effect, which also means parking restrictions are in effect in many areas.
