City officials in Duluth are asking residents to stay home as heavy snow falls in the city.
Heavy, wet snow is falling across parts of northern Minnesota. The National Weather Service is forecasting 7 to 11 inches for Duluth by Monday afternoon, and KQDS-TV there reports that by Sunday plow crews in the city had their hands full trying to keep the streets clean.
City spokeswoman Amy Norris says if drivers keep the roadways clear it will make plowing more effective. She says it's essential to get the streets as clear of snow as possible, with colder temperatures in the forecast that could freeze snow and ice to the asphalt.
