Special Weather Statement issued December 18 at 3:12AM CST by NWS Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN

Confidence continues to increase in the potential for a band of 3
to 6 inches of snow across central Minnesota through western
Wisconsin, generally near and north of the Interstate 94 corridor,
Wednesday night through much of Thursday. Northern and eastern
portions of the Twin Cities metro could potentially be included
within such a band of plowable snow. There is still some
uncertainty in exactly where and how wide this band of snow
develops.

Hazardous travel conditions may develop as a result of the
accumulating snow, particularly for the Thursday morning commute,
during which the steadiest snow may fall. In addition, breezy
winds on Thursday with gusts of 20 to 30 mph for much of the day
may produce blowing snow which could reduce visibilities.

Drivers should prepare for a slower and longer commute Thursday
morning and keep up with the latest forecasts and statements from
the National Weather Service.
