Another long day of winter weather with snow turning to freezing rain turning to sub zero air temps that turned the roads into skating rinks. Not a fun day on the road but lots to document in the weather.
St Cloud, MN Slick Roads, Crashes, Snow Clean Up From The Winter Storm – 12/26/2021
Let it snow… I was out covering the local weather again tonight and this morning. Gotta love the local chases where I don’t have to drive hours away to cover the weather. Now, off to clean up the 5 inches of snow in the driveway. #MNWX #WinterStorm
Winter Storm, Pile Up On I-35 and Metro Heavy Snow 12-10-2021
I was out at it again in southern Minnesota in the middle of the winter storm and stuck close to the hots spots of known travel areas where traffic is known to pile up. It did not take long and one area just to the north of Faribault had a pretty bad pile up. I did not hear about any serious accidents but the Interstate was shut down for hours due to the numerous jack knifed Semi Trucks.
As the storm progressed, the worst of the heavy band of snow was setting up around the south side of the Twin Cities metro area. I shot the following footage around Minneapolis to the south end of down down by Burnsville, MN and Bloomington, MN.
Overall this was an interesting event that was the far northern end of the historic tornado outbreak that impacted the region from Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee.
