MnDOT: speed of snowfall and wind still challenging in 'last gasp' of snowstorm
FOX 9's Hannah Flood spoke to MnDOT officials Thursday morning, who told her that snow plow crews are facing two big challenges during the "last gasp" of this week's winter storm: 1) the speed of the snowfall and 2) wind blowing the snow back onto roads after they have been plowed. The area southwest of the metro poses the biggest problem, with snow difts covering roadways. MnDot is advising against driving on certain roads.
