Breezy conditions cause blowing snow in Minnesota
After a snowy weekend, Minnesota faces persistent breezy conditions causing blowing snow, particularly in open areas. Despite sunny skies offering some relief, meteorologist Joseph Dames notes these conditions are typical for the transition from winter to spring. Accumulated snow is being redistributed by the wind, reducing visibility and prompting travel advisories from MnDOT. Drivers are urged to check road conditions and adjust speeds to maintain safe following distances.
