MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - An overnight dusting of snow created some slick road conditions in the Twin Cities metro and across much of Minnesota on Monday morning.
Slick roads
Drivers across the Twin Cities metro are encountering traffic delays Monday morning due to slick road conditions caused by overnight snowfall. The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport recorded 0.4 inches of snow, while other areas saw slightly above or below half an inch.
Slowdowns are happening on most major roadways as lanes are partially covered in snow. The Minnesota State Patrol reported from midnight to 10:30 a.m. there were 177 property damage crashes, 39 vehicles off the road, 15 injury crashes and six spinouts.
The flurries are expected to move out Monday morning for a mostly cloudy day with highs in the low to mid-20s. Another clipper system could bring snow to northeastern Minnesota on Tuesday, but it’s not expected to impact the metro area.
