Minnesota prepares for the upcoming snow storm that may cause multiple issues
State authorities and weather forecasters inform civilians about cautions they should be taken as a big snowstorm begins pushing into Minnesota.
Fire response teams could be delayed by the snow, said Jim Smith, the state fire marshal. He warned people not to use propane heaters, or charcoal grills, or turning on the gas stove as a heat source to prevent fires.
St. Paul public schools said the district will go virtual Wednesday and Thursday and have a complete snow day on Friday. Minneapolis schools will be closed with e-learning days for the remainder of the week. St.Cloud area schools will have e-learning days Wednesday and Thursday with Friday’s schedule determined later this week depending on the future forecast.
Minnesota Department of Transportation officials are concerned about the snow that’s packed on the roads that has recently melted and refrozen, meaning that the new snow will not be able to stick to the roads.
