A major winter storm is impacting Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin, bringing heavy snowfall and strong winds as Thanksgiving approaches. Snow began falling overnight, with totals expected to reach up to 6 inches in the Twin Cities and even higher amounts in other regions. Travel conditions have deteriorated, prompting no-travel advisories in west-central Minnesota and reports of multiple vehicle pile-ups on highways, including a massive one on I-94. Schools are closing early in anticipation of worsening weather. Residents are advised to stay updated through live weather reports and heed winter weather warnings as snow continues throughout the morning.
