Snow? Rain? Ice? Winter storm looms over Minnesota

Minnesotans braced for a major winter storm Wednesday expected to drop more than a foot of snow in the western and central parts of the state over the next two days, with rainfall followed by frigid temperatures predicted for the Twin Cities.

On Wednesday, the National Weather Service in Chanhassen issued a blizzard warning for a small part of west-central Minnesota, with a much larger area — from International Falls to Grand Rapids to Duluth to Hinckley, then southwest to Brainerd, Fergus Falls, Morris, St. Cloud, Willmar and Marshall — under a winter storm warning until noon Friday.
