The National Weather Service predicts 5-9 inches of snow for the region compared to 13.7 inches Forecasters originally expected. The area is still under a winter storm warning until noon on Monday. St. Cloud State University meteorologist Bob Weisman predicts that the region could see anywhere from 10 to 15 inches of snow from this storm, the heaviest begin falling this afternoon.

The NWS forecast shows that the southwestern Minnesota may be the hardest hit by the storm. The NWS expects that the region could Willmar 8-12 cm of snow today and maybe 3-7 inches longer by the end of the night. The Minnesota Department of Transportation and State Patrol are reporting difficult driving conditions throughout the southern part of Minnesota this morning. Slippery roads and blowing snow are reported.

Travel will be extremely difficult to almost impossible at times along portions of I-29 I-35, I-90 and I-94 as the storm unfolds.

Sections of roads and highways may need to be closed by officials as conditions continue to deteriorate.

Significant blowing and drifting snow has already occurred in parts of Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota.

The area was hit hard by snow and wind will encompass much of South Dakota, southeastern North Dakota and southwestern Minnesota.

A foot of snow, with locally higher amounts will thud in communities located in this corridor.

Some communities in western South Dakota have already been buried by more than a foot of snow. Rapid City, SD, received half a foot of snow.

Sustained winds will whip the area to over 30 mph with gusts over 40 mph. Important blowing snow will reduce visibility to one quarter mile and less for several hours afterwards.

Drifting snow on back roads will also continue to challenge the road crews in the early storm of flying Midwest.

Although the criteria blizzard cannot be met in Minneapolis, it will be a big snowstorm that has a significant impact on travel in the city.

Up to a foot of snow is expected to bury the Twin Cities. Winds will continue to receive a little windy with gusts over 30 mph at the time that could contribute to blowing snow and dangerous, low visibility.

News Channel 5

News Channel 5, UK free-to-air broadcaster Channel 5 is among a handful of buyers of The Walking Dead, the zombie series that was a huge success in small groups for the cable channels AMC in the U.S. and FX, which international human rights law to pay. Five took the rights of free-to-air in the United Kingdom under an agreement concluded by the distribution subsidiary of Entertainment One (eOne). In France, Orange has taken the premium pay television rights in Israel and DBS picked up pay TV rights.
EOne said he was close to sealing more deals for the series, which is produced by Frank Darabont and based on the comic book series by Robert Kirkman. In the U.S. the show has been the biggest success of the AMC, providing ratings much better than its other original series of large, including Mad Men and Breaking Bad. It was the most watched series of basic cable ever in the U.S. in the 18-49 demos. Fox International Channels has launched the international series this fall and has also yielded good numbers in the world.

Metrodome Collapse

Metrodome Collapse, (AP) – A storm that lasted eight States parties continued to dump snow in the Upper Midwest on Sunday, the collapse of Minneapolis and the Metrodome to force the closure of many roads.

The storm was moving east, a day after he dumped 20 inches of snow in some places. A match on Sunday between the NFL football New York Giants and the Minnesota Vikings had already been postponed to Monday because the Giants could not get to Minneapolis to play when the tire Metrodome collapsed Sunday. We do not know when this game will now be played.

A blizzard warning was in effect Sunday in Chicago and much of northern Illinois, all of Iowa, much of southern Minnesota and Wisconsin, and small areas in North Dakota, South Dakota, Missouri and Michigan, according to the National Weather Service. Most of the rest of the region was under a winter storm warning or watch freeze.

Wisconsin officials issued a statewide non-travel advisory on Saturday, quoting blizzard and winter storm warnings in almost all counties.

The weather was an unexpected burden for a Minnesota man who had promised to go camping on the roof of a coffee to help her daughter’s school to raise funds.

General Hospital Robert Stevens donned four layers of long underwear, heavy boots and a down coat before embarking on his quest Friday night. He promised not to descend until it was raised to 100,000, but after reaching the halfway mark on Saturday morning, he said he hoped the rest of the money would come quickly. He did not wait to spend another night in the blizzard.

“I think I crossed the line into madness,” he said.

Stevens slept in a tent among the hay bales, wrapped in a sleeping bag with double insulation listening to the wind whipping off Lake Minnetonka one block.

There was lively lunch crowd Saturday in the Birchwood Cafe in Minneapolis. Dennis Collette, there is a baker, was back inside after she and her colleagues spent 20 minutes of futile attempt to free his car parked in a snowdrift. Dennis still hoped to find a way to return home in the suburb of Roseville, about 12 miles – but it was also prepared to stay put.

The coffee had no beds, Dennis said, “but we have several bags of flour I could not sleep. And I guess at least I will not starve.”
