(KNSI) – Heavy snowfall shut down Minnesota’s largest airport leading to at least one plane getting diverted to St. Cloud.

The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport closed its runways due to excessive snowfall and low visibility on Tuesday.

Flightradar shows flights nearing MSP have been in a holding pattern, and some are now being sent to other airports, including a Sun Country flight from Newark-Liberty, which has been rerouted to the St. Cloud Regional Airport. A Delta flight from the same airport is now headed to Fargo.

Meteorologists say the Twin Cities could see up to eight inches of snow by the time the system passes.
