The visible satellite imagery of the very strong low pressure system over the western Great Plains is wonderful. The surface low is now in western KS, just across the CO/KS border. Take a look!

This is a good idea

[NWS Twin Cities @NWSTwinCities]

Another way to prepare for the upcoming snowstorm is to clear the snow and ice from the nearest storm drain. When the snow melts, it will need a place to drain to prevent localized flooding. #mnwx #wiwx

In regards to this weekends storm coming... Calm down folks long way to go until confidence in anything increases. #mnwx #wiwx #iawx #ilwx #ndwx #sdwx #newx

Can we maybe move this back a month to April 1? #mnwx #wiwx #ndwx #sdwx

A #MnDOT snowplow was hit earlier today in west central Minnesota. Even on the interstate, plows move at approx. 30 mph while they work. Stay alert and stay back at least 10 car lengths—if you can’t see them, they can’t see you. https://t.co/kt5FT1QgA5

February 2019 is now the snowiest February on record for the Twin Cities, and there is still 8 days to go! In the second picture, some of our meteorologists posed for a picture during the storm this morning as the record was being broken. #snow #minnesota #mnwx
