MN weather: Blizzard, winter storm warnings Sunday
Blizzard and winter storm warnings are in place across Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Local perspective:
A blizzard warning is in effect for parts of western and southern Minnesota.
Strong winds could reach up to 40 miles per hour, creating whiteout conditions and hazardous travel.
The Twin Cities and parts of Wisconsin are under a winter storm warning, with snowfall expected to be heaviest in these areas.
