A significant winter storm is set to affect Minnesota and the surrounding Upper Midwest, bringing heavy snow and strong winds from Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. The Twin Cities are under a Winter Storm Warning, with snowfall totals expected to reach 4 to 6 inches, while some areas may see up to 25 inches. Travel is likely to be challenging due to blowing snow and icy road conditions, prompting school closures across the region. Residents are advised to prepare for hazardous travel as a blizzard warning is in effect for parts of western Minnesota, and winter weather advisories have been issued for central areas. Power companies are also gearing up for potential outages as the storm approaches.
