If there was ever a time to have a #wintersurvivalkit in your car, this is it! Many of us will be traveling this #Christmas, but snow, wind gusts & blowing snow will pose significant dangers. Pack your kit now and consider changing your travel plans. ow.ly/S94f50M7C29 #MNWX

The bottom line for travel this week is as follows... Travel on Tuesday is the best plan. Wednesday travel will be heavily impaired by accumulating snow. Thu-Sat travel will be heavily impaired by blizzard conditions and dangerous wind chills if you get stranded. #mnwx #wiwx

After light snow later today, attention turns towards a powerful late week winter storm that will bring accumulating snow, strong winds, blowing and drifting snow and very cold to dangerous wind chills. Travel may be very difficult Wednesday afternoon through Friday. #mnwx #wiwx
Light snow is likely on Monday with accumulations ranging from a trace in western Minnesota to up to 2 inches in western Wisconsin.
The probability of 2 or more inches ranges from about 40 percent north to 80 percent south on Wednesday and Thursday.
Gusty winds on Thursday and Friday will gust as high as 50 MPH in the south and 40 MPH elsewhere.
Very cold to dangerous wind chills late this week will range from the -40s in the west to the -30s in the east.

It is going to be a messy one out there today into tomorrow morning. Please use caution if traveling today. Most of our area will see sleet/rain/snow. Travel could be tough at times, please take it slow! A second round of snow is possible Thursday and Friday. -645BV

The main change from the previous forecast is for less freezing rain, and more sleet today. Areas in west central and north central Minnesota will see more snow. There will be a short lull on Wednesday, then a couple days of light snow to round out the week #mnwx #wiwx

You know the phrase "everything but the kitchen sink"? Well, this week's weather is everything INCLUDING the kitchen sink. Stay weather aware this week if you plan to leave your house. Temps forecast to be near & above freezing are creating a messy forecast. #MNwx #WIwx
Three day forecast with highs in the mid 30s and lows in the upper 20s to low 30s. Multiple chances for snow, rain, sleet, and freezing rain this week. Tuesday will be wet for everyone, while Wednesday could bring a brief dry period for some before snow returns on Thursday.
5 things to know about winter weather forecasts: 1. snow and ice totals can vary greatly over short distances. 2. winter forecasts can change quickly. 3. Focus more on the winter storm's impact than exact numbers/totals. 4. Know your weather terminology and the different between warnings, watches, and advisories. 5. Rely on dependable sources for weather information.

We assisted @CarverSheriff with a traffic stop in our city today. A “ghost” gun was found in the vehicle - a new, concerning trend used in violent crime across the country. Glad we got one more off of your streets (the bottom of the firearm is covered for investigative purposes).
