URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
258 PM CST Tue Dec 20 2022

...ACCUMULATING SNOW WEDNESDAY FOLLOWED BY BLIZZARD AND
DANGEROUSLY COLD CONDITIONS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...
...TRAVEL THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT COULD BE 
IMPOSSIBLE AND LIFE-THREATENING...

.Snow will overspread the region Wednesday and bring 5 to 8 inches
of fluffy accumulation through Wednesday night. Winds will be 
relatively light Wednesday and Wednesday evening. There should be 
a break in severe winter conditions late Wednesday night and early
Thursday. Then, strong northwest winds gusting as high as 50 mph 
and dangerously cold air will surge in Thursday afternoon through 
Friday night. Whiteout conditions are expected during that time 
with travel becoming very difficult or impossible. This event 
could be life-threatening if you are stranded with wind chills in
the 30 below to 45 below zero range. Travel plans for late this 
week should be adjusted now. In addition, heavy snow remaining on 
trees from the last storm and strong winds arriving could result 
in tree damage and power outages as temperatures drop below zero.

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect Wednesday and Wednesday
evening. Then, a Blizzard Warning goes into effect Thursday across
southern and western Minnesota, with the Winter Storm Watch
continuing north and east where wind and blowing snow will begin
a bit later.

.Snow will overspread the region Wednesday and bring 5 to

will be relatively light Wednesday and Wednesday evening. There
should be a break in severe winter conditions late Wednesday
night and early Thursday. Then, strong northwest winds gusting as

afternoon through Friday night. Whiteout conditions are expected
during that time with travel becoming very difficult or
impossible. This event could be life-threatening if you are
stranded with wind chills in the 30 below to 45 below zero range.

evening. Then, a Blizzard Warning goes into effect Thursday
across southern and western Minnesota, with the Winter Storm
Watch continuing north and east where wind and blowing snow will

from Madison to Mankato to Eau Claire, with 3 to 5 inches to the 
south. Winds will be relatively light through this evening. There

...ACCUMULATING SNOW ENDING THEN A GROUND BLIZZARD AND 
DANGEROUSLY COLD CONDITIONS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...

...TRAVEL THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT COULD BE
IMPOSSIBLE AND LIFE-THREATENING...

.Snow will continue to exit from west to east this morning. Later
today northwest winds gusts of 40 to near 50 mph will develop and
last through Friday night. Many hours of whiteout conditions are 
expected during that time with travel becoming very difficult or 
impossible as roads drift shut. In addition, arctic air with 
dangerously cold wind chills will spread across the region. This 
event could be life- threatening if you are stranded with wind 
chills in the 30 below to 45 below zero range. Please avoid 
traveling. In addition, heavy snow remaining on trees from the 
last storm and strong winds arriving could result in tree damage 
and power outages as temperatures drop below zero.

A Blizzard Warning goes into effect Thursday afternoon and
evening in areas west of the Mississippi River, with a Winter
Storm Warning east of the river through Friday night.

National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
1139 AM CST Thu Dec 22 2022

...GROUND BLIZZARD AND DANGEROUSLY COLD CONDITIONS THURSDAY AND 
FRIDAY...
...TRAVEL THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING COULD BE 
IMPOSSIBLE AND LIFE-THREATENING...

.Other than light flurries, snow has ended across the area. The
main concern transitions to blowing snow which has already picked
up in western Minnesota, eventually spreading over to all portions
of the coverage area by Friday morning. In addition, arctic air 
with dangerously cold wind chills will spread across the region. 
This event could be life- threatening if you are stranded with 
wind chills in the 30 below to 45 below zero range. Please avoid 
traveling. In addition, heavy snow remaining on trees from the 
last storm and strong winds arriving could result in tree damage 
and power outages as temperatures drop below zero.

A Blizzard Warning goes into effect Thursday afternoon and
evening in areas west of the Mississippi River, and in portions of
western Wisconsin beginning Friday morning as winds increase.
