And it's not just driving that will be treacherous. Do you normally walk the dog in the morning or head out for a quick run? Make sure you have extra grip on your shoes as sidewalks are very icy and hazardous as well! #mnwx #wiwx

Like we said, it's icy out there this morning. Metro transit has pulled their buses off the roads. If you can delay any driving to after 10am, or even this afternoon, that is highly advised. #mnwx

This capture of the approach to the Bloomington Ferry Bridge from Shakopee shows how dicey it is out there this morning. This camera has:

1) Jackknifed semi
2) Slide off
3) Reflection of lights in snow showing the ice glaze developing.

SLOW DOWN if driving this morning! #mnwx

I'm not sure I'll ever understand why football players congratulate each other by slapping the guy in the head. With all the concussion concerns, that's the choice they make? I've never played any meaningful football, so I'm certainly not someone in the know.

Good morning! Today will be all about accumulating snow, but winds will still be fairly light. Snow tapers tomorrow, and then a tightening pressure gradient turns on howling winds. https://t.co/stdwDS9cvU

"Overwhelming and indisputable." A historian and metal detectorist says new evidence proves one of the world's most notorious pirates hid out in the American colonies after he became public enemy No. 1 in the late 1600s. https://t.co/q3cUD1mnmR

To keep yourself safe and reduce the risk of damaging your equipment, wait for 7-8 inches of new, clear ice before you take out a side-by-side ATV.

A small ATV or snowmobile can travel on 5-7 inches of new, clear ice.

Are you feeling the ice fishing itch? 🐟 Use caution on snow-covered ice!

❄️ Snow slows down the formation of new ice. It can also impact the quality of the ice when it melts and refreezes. Refrozen ice is only half as strong as new, clear ice. https://t.co/ZZYGTlBudu
