Snow we can handle

A minor system with a push of milder air will stir up some snow flakes on Wednesday over mainly southern Minnesota.

An inch or two of snow may accumulate from the Minnesota River Valley to the Twin Cities and points southeast.

This will be low water content snow, so this fluff will be easier to sweep from driveways. Nonetheless, experience has proven that an inch of fluffy snow can cause havoc on the highways.

It was nippy this morning across the region. The heat island effect allowed the temperature to remain above zero in Minneapolis and St. Paul. The mercury bottomed out from five to ten below zero in some outlying areas.

A reenforcing shot of arctic air arrives for the New Year.
