Roads are covered in snow Saturday morning after a blizzard-warned storm moved through the state, making travel conditions a little rough. Meanwhile, the wind-driven storm has caused power outages across the Twin Cities.

(FOX 9) - It’s official, the 2022-2023 winter season is now the third snowiest on record for the Twin Cities.

Rain, thunder, hail, and a wintry mix on Friday transitioned into heavy snow with a blizzard warning in effect for the Twin Cities, which is relatively uncommon for the metro, as well as much of central and southern Minnesota.
