510 WWUS43 KMPX 291152 WSWMPX URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 552 AM CST Mon Dec 29 2025 ...HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS TO PERSIST TODAY DUE TO BLOWING SNOW AND SLIPPERY ROADS... .Although the potent storm system responsible for the blizzard conditions and accumulating snow has shifted east of the area, its residual impacts will persist across central and southern MN through western WI. Road conditions are still hazardous due to icy layers under the accumulating snow, while elevated winds are still producing reduced visibility and blowing snow conditions. These elements will make for hazardous travel conditions through the day today, even with winds diminishing and partial clearing by later today. If necessary to be out traveling today, motorists are urged to allow plenty of extra travel time and allow plenty of space between vehicles as slippery roads may still be encountered.
