The University of Minnesota braced for heavy snowfall and arctic temperatures as a winter storm approached the Twin Cities on Tuesday.
The front began with light rain midday. Weather watchers said they expected the first of 6 to 9 inches of snow to arrive late Tuesday and continue into Wednesday.
The first major snowfall of the season has everyone from commuters to grounds care anticipating the change.
Temperatures were expected to fall as well, with Tuesday’s lows in the 30s giving way to single-digit highs by the weekend.
