After record snowfall, more snow on the way for northern Minn.

About 8 inches fell in the Twin Cities Tuesday — the second highest October daily snowfall ever recorded in the metro area, topped only by the Halloween blizzard of 1991 (yes, we have to mention the Halloween blizzard). It’ll be a relatively quiet Wednesday, with only isolated precipitation chances. Thursday: The snow returns in northern Minnesota.
