I saw plenty of cross-country skiers in St. Paul Sunday morning, despite below-zero temps:
It helped that we had plenty of sunshine and very light winds. The skiers will be happy to know that some additional snow is in our Sunday evening forecast.
Periods of snow are expected Sunday evening across most of Minnesota plus western Wisconsin. Accumulations will generally be one inch or less, but a few spots in southern Minnesota could end up with more than one inch. There’s also a chance of patchy light freezing drizzle late Sunday night and early Monday morning.
Some roads could have slick spots during the Monday morning commute. Updated Minnesota road conditions can be found here. Wisconsin road conditions can be found here.
