The historic cold and snow in parts of the southern U.S. have caused widespread power outages, with some rolling blackouts even affecting parts of Minnesota.
Slick conditions were reported Sunday morning on roadways throughout southeastern Minnesota, where a winter weather advisory is in effect through 6 PM, but some major highways in northern Minnesota remain impassable due to the weekend blizzard.
The slippery conditions that developed yesterday evening across southeastern Minnesota and the rest of the state contributed to numerous traffic crashes.
Southern Minnesota will likely see some wintry travel conditions but it appears the north half of the state will feel the brunt of a major winter storm that’s due to arrive tonight.
