MN weather: Feeling like winter, then melting begins over the weekend
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - After the largest winter storm the Twin Cities has seen so far this season, it's started to feel like winter. But expect some melting over this weekend.
Most areas in the Twin Cities picked up about 4.5 to 6.5 inches of snow on Valentine's Day, but a few areas saw 7 inches of snow. The snow ended up being fluffier, so it piled up higher than originally expected.

The sun continues through the weekend, as temperatures climb above freezing, which will help all the snow start to melt. Highs in the 40s are in the forecast for next week. Here's the seven-day forecast:
