Snow mixed with strong winds to blanket the Dakotas on Sunday. That made for tough driving in the blinding conditions. Minnesota sees the snow over the evening.
Minneapolis residents will be shoveling 1 to 3 inches of snow off driveways before the morning commute. But, the snow will be tapering off through the morning.
