A spring snowstorm continues to drop plowable snow in the Twin Cities and other parts of Minnesota Wednesday morning, with some areas seeing 10 or more inches.
Due to the snow and accompanying strong wing gusts that are impacting visibility, WCCO has issued NEXT Weather and NEXT Drive alerts. Metro Transit has suspended all bus service due to road conditions, as has the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority.
Many Minnesota schools have also closed or gone virtual Wednesday due to significant snow and wind conditions.

In the Twin Cities, nearly 7.5 inches of snow has already fallen as of 6 a.m., according to the National Weather Service. In Chanhassen, 6.5 inches is being reported. Just under an inch of snow has been reported in St. Cloud. In Wisconsin, about an inch has been reported in Eau Claire.
