National Weather Service now predicts ‘wintry mix’ tonight, followed by up to six inches of snow by Monday morning.

Wind chills could reach dangerous levels in Dakota County.
Follow Eagan Patch on Twitter | Like us on Facebook | Sign up for our daily newsletter | Blog for us Here we go again. The unseasonably warm temperatures of the past few days give way to another cold snap today, with temperatures in central Dakota County dropping to about 3 below zero tonight.

The cold temperatures could be accompanied by winds of up to 17 mph, which would equal a wind chill of more than 30 below zero. That's cold enough to warrant special precautions; going outdoors for more than 30 minutes without gloves or a face mask could result in frostbite.

Wind chills could reach dangerous lows on Sunday and Monday nights.
Follow Eagan Patch on Twitter | Like us on Facebook | Sign up for our daily newsletter | Blog for us There's cold, and there's Minnesota cold. The Twin Cities area is about to get the kind of freeze-your-face-off Arctic temperatures that give Midwesterners their reputation for hardiness. The temperature is expected to start dropping Saturday afternoon; Monday could be the first day in four years with a high temperature of less than zero. Sunday and Monday nights could see lows of about 8 below zero, and with west-northwest winds of up to 11 mph, well, let's just say "freeze-your-face-off" might not be an exaggeration. The combination of wind and cold could equal a wind chill of about 27 below zero, and at that temperature, according to the…

Monday morning’s rush hour was a commuter’s headache, as traffic crawled on slick highways.
Most Twin Cities freeways were in fair condition at midday Monday, a couple hours after one of the most nerve-racking morning rush hours in recent memory. Commuters across the metro still were stuck in traffic on snow-covered and icy roads heading after the traditional 9 a.m. end of the rush hour. The Star Tribune says that traffic on Interstate 694 in the north metro was crawling as late as 11 a.m. Shortly after 12:30 p.m. Monday, the Minnesota Department of Transportation was reporting that most major highways in the Twin Cities—including I-35E, I-35W, I-94, I-494 and highways 3, 52, 55, 61, 62 and 169—were in fair driving condition. Roads were treated, but snow and icy patches were evident. Authorities were investigating a number of …
The storm caused 637 crashes statewide through 6 a.m. on Monday morning, the Minnesota State Patrol said.

But at least one Eagan resident, Joanne Seaberg, reported 15 inches of accumulation on her deck. Despite the winter storm, Eagan schools began on time Monday morning. As it stands now, the Twin Cities won the snow lottery on Sunday with nearly every town in the metro area getting between 10 and 15 inches of snow. The deepest single-…
