Strong Winds Create Dangerous Visibility
In addition to snowfall, the storm unleashed powerful wind gusts of 30 to 50 mph, dramatically reducing visibility.
In Eden Prairie, visibility dropped to just three-quarters of a mile, making driving extremely hazardous.
Transportation officials warned that blowing snow is compounding already treacherous road conditions.
Roads Closed and Accidents Mount
The Minnesota State Patrol reported 49 property-damage crashes between midnight and early Sunday afternoon.
Authorities also recorded:
-
11 spinouts
-
211 vehicles sliding off roads
-
7 jackknifed semi-trucks
Two crashes resulted in injuries.
Meanwhile, officials said Interstate 35 southbound near Albert Lea would close by 3 p.m. Sunday, coordinating with similar closures across the border in Iowa.
Government and Schools Adjust Schedules
The winter storm is also disrupting government operations.
The Minnesota House of Representatives announced all committee meetings scheduled for Monday have been canceled.
Lawmakers plan to hold a 3:30 p.m. floor session, encouraging remote participation for members unable to travel safely.
The Minnesota Senate said its Monday committee meetings were still expected to proceed as scheduled.
Meanwhile, dozens of schools and community organizations are expected to remain closed as snow totals continue rising.
Cities Declare Snow Emergencies
Municipal leaders across the region have issued snow emergencies to keep streets clear for plows.
In Minneapolis, Mayor Jacob Frey announced an emergency beginning 9 p.m. Sunday.
Similarly, St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her urged residents to move vehicles early.
To help residents comply, Minneapolis opened temporary parking at the Salvation Army lot and the farmers market parking area.
Parking will remain free until Wednesday at 8 p.m., while Parking Ramp A downtown will charge only $1 starting Sunday.
In St. Paul, the Block 19 parking ramp opened Saturday evening for free public parking, and additional park lots may open depending on demand.
City officials also announced that garbage collection in St. Paul will be canceled Monday due to hazardous conditions.
A Storm Still Unfolding
With heavy snowfall, strong winds and plunging visibility, the winter storm continues to tighten its grip on Minnesota.
Officials warn that travel will remain dangerous through Monday, urging residents to stay home whenever possible while emergency crews battle one of the regionβs most powerful storms of the season.
