(KNSI) – The National Weather Service is expecting three to five inches of snow throughout central Minnesota Tuesday afternoon and evening.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety reports roads in the area are slush and snow-covered, with several accidents in the process of being cleared. As a result, drivers should use extra caution. If skidding, drivers should ease off the gas and steer in the direction they want the vehicle to go. With anti-lock brakes, apply steady, firm pressure to the brake pedal.
