Weather

In the coming days, thermometers in the Twin Cities are set to drop below zero, making for brutal conditions for people who have to go outside but also creating potentially hazardous driving conditions.

Winter weather will move into the Twin Cities metro and the central part of the state starting late Sunday night into Monday morning.

Now that we are a week into December, we are very much getting into the heart of the cold season for much of North America. Around here, that means subzero temperatures and even colder wind chills. But how common are the extremely cold temperatures this time of year?

After a couple of days with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s, you’d think our snowpack would be almost gone by now. If you’ve lived in Minnesota more than a couple of winters, you likely know that is just not going to be the case. But if temperatures get above freezing, why does it take so long for our snowpack to melt? Well, the answer is surprisingly complex.

If you are ticketed and towed for violating a St. Paul snow emergency, the cost to is likely to be around $330 after the City Council voted to increase fees Wednesday.

The mayor of Duluth, Minnesota is apologizing for the city's response to a massive snowstorm that hit the city over the weekend.

Now that we are in December, we are entering the coldest couple of months for temperatures on average in North America. That means the lack of any sunshine around the North Pole allows the true arctic air to develop over the next few weeks.  Well, as we know, every so often, this air is dislodged from northern Canada and heads south into the Upper Midwest.  Well, it looks like that is about to happen for the first time this season.

With over 14 inches of snow during our last meteorological fall month, this is now the snowiest November in the Twin Cities since 1997.

While no snow emergency is in effect, the city is asking residents to voluntarily move their cars for snowplows to clear city streets this week.

Another round of snow hit northern Minnesota Saturday night into Sunday morning, with residents advised not to travel until conditions improve.
