MN weather: Feeling like winter, melting this weekend

FOX 9's Cody Matz has the forecast.

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.
