Weather

Take your time on the roads. After Tuesday's rain and then dropping temperatures, it's made roads icy for the Wednesday morning commute.

The snow will end Wednesday morning, but it'll remain blustery. Expect a quiet and cold Thanksgiving, before it turns even colder for the start of December.

Snow and blustery conditions have led to slippery conditions across area roadways. Roads in the Twin Cities are partially covered, while roads in western and northeastern Minnesota are completely covered in snow and/or ice. The snow is expected to wrap up between 7-9 a.m. on Wednesday, but tough travel conditions could persist. Highs will be in the 20s across much of the state.

Accumulating snow is starting to come to an end in the Twin Cities and elsewhere across Minnesota. Heavier snow persists around Lake Superior, especially in Wisconsin. The snowstorm is still impacting travel across much of the state, especially Wednesday morning. Residential and main roads may be slick, so use caution.

The falling snow and gusty winds, which are causing blowing snow, has made travel conditions tough across much of the state early Wednesday. Twin Cities roadways have some snow on them, while northern Minnesota roadways are covered in snow, according to MnDOT's website. Meanwhile, in western Minnesota, roadways are listed as completely covered with ice, and motorists should expect blowing snow and reduced visibility.

The plows are out, but there are slick spots on Twin Cities roadways, especially on side roads. Tough travel is expected through the morning commute. There will be a bit more snow falling this morning, until about 7 or 8 a.m. But blustery conditions remain for much of the day, which could cause blowing snow.

The first snow of the season has hit Minnesota. FOX 9 has team coverage checking in on road conditions and how people are feeling about the snow.
