Winter storm to bring a foot of snow to central Minnesota, less in Twin Cities

The Twin Cities will escape the brunt of a major winter storm that is poised to bring a foot or more of snow to central Minnesota, but the metro area still is poised to get hit with one of the largest snowfalls of the season.

Accumulating snow won't arrive until sunrise Tuesday. And 3 to 6 inches will pile up throughout the day, with the highest totals in the northern suburbs, said Tyler Hasenstein, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Chanhassen.

"The trend has moved things north [of the metro]," he said after early forecasts put the Twin Cities in the bull's-eye of the storm and in line for a hefty snow. In the metro, "it will be an average snowstorm."
