St. Paul and Minneapolis declared snow emergencies Sunday morning after the metro area got hit with plowable, shovel-able snow — and there was even greater weather action south of the metro.
About 4 to 8 inches had been expected to fall on the Twin Cities by noon with the biggest amounts in the southern metro, according to the National Weather Service.

The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport recorded 4.8 inches as of noon, while the weather service’s Chanhassen office logged 5.2 inches.
The storm dumped more than a foot of snow on parts of the Upper Midwest on Sunday. Lake Crystal, in southern Minnesota, reported 15.5 inches. More than 12 inches fell on St. James.
The weather service reported 16 inches in Estelline, in eastern South Dakota. More than 12 inches fell on De Smet, S.D.
The storm had moved on to western Wisconsin by noon.
St. Paul’s snow emergency means that:
- Cars must be removed from Night Plow Routes by 9 p.m. That includes downtown and all streets with signs posted as “Night Plow Route.”
- On Monday morning, beginning at 8 a.m., plows will clear Day Plow Routes, which are streets not marked as Night Plow Routes. Any cars left parked on streets where plows are scheduled to work are subject to ticketing and towing.
Minneapolis has its own snow-emergency rules.
The weather service warned that southern-Minnesota roads were snow-covered and driving conditions were deemed hazardous.
No travel was advised in nine southwestern-Minnesota — Chippewa, Lac qui Parle, Lincoln, Lyon, Murray, Pipestone, Redwood, Renville and Yellow Medicine — according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Whiteout conditions with hard-to-see roads were said to be likely in those counties.
In eastern Wisconsin, Outagamie County sheriff’s authorities said winter and road conditions apparently were a factor in a two-vehicle crash Sunday morning that killed a 32-year-old woman from the New London area and injured a 38-year-old woman from the Appleton area.
