A fierce winter storm has been forecast to hit much of the U.S., while meteorologists are predicting Minneapolis will be dumped with 18 inches of snow.
Meteorologists have warned that a huge swath of the U.S. is set to be battered by a massive winter storm this week — and now it appears that Minnesota may bear the brunt of it.
And now the attention is increasingly turning to Minnesota as the"extreme" storm barrels towards it from Tuesday. The National Weather Service has issued an"urgent" blizzard warning, covering the Twin Cities and Chanhassen, and described the weather front as an"historic winter storm" likely to result in"whiteout" conditions.
"The worst conditions will be Wednesday evening through Thursday, and a Blizzard Warning was issued for several counties in western and central Minnesota during this time frame. Heavy snow will combine with northeast wind gusts of 35 mph across the region, to near 50 mph in western and central Minnesota. This will lead to significant blowing and drifting snow with whiteout conditions in open areas. Some drifts may be several feet deep, making travel nearly impossible.
