Snow Update: Slick roads overnight
NWS weather story highlights slightly higher snow totals.
6:30pm Update:
Tonight's radar trends indicate a band of high quality snow crystals with heavier intensities moving through the southern half of the metro. I measured 1.5" of fluffy snow crystals here at the Huttner Weather Lab in Deephaven at 6:15pm.

I am updating snowfall totals to reflect increased snow intensity. I now expect 2" to 3" in most of the metro. Some isolated 4" amounts are not out of the question by morning.
Southern Minnesota may see more widespread 2" to 4" totals.
It's slick out there tonight.
Stay safe!

Our Monday snowmaker is moving through right on schedule today.
A large shield of snow is visible on radar tracking through southern Minnesota. Snow also stretches as far north as Brainerd and Fargo. Snow covered roads are causing slippery conditions. Expect the snow to continue into tonight.
It still looks like the heaviest band will fall in the southern third of Minnesota. 2" to 4" is likely from Sioux Falls to Pipestone Worthington and along the I-90 corridor thought Rochester.
In the metro, I expect 1" to 2" for most areas. There may be some isolated higher totals in the south metro as the heavier snow bands move through this evening.
Give yourself plenty of extra time to get around through tonight.
Here are some resources to track the snow.
