Snow squalls are currently moving across the Minnesota Arrowhead as a cold front crosses. Affected locations will see rapidly changing weather...with brief heavy snow and gusty winds. A quick snow accumulation of 0.25 inches is possible on grassy surfaces. We do not expect this to impact roads at this time. Temporary reductions in visibility to less than a quarter mile are possible. If you are traveling and encounter adverse winter driving conditions...reduce speed and make sure headlights are on.
