Families stayed home this weekend, snowed in by a storm that brought high winds, cold temperatures and blowing snow. And there’s more on the way tonight and Tuesday.

The Saturday blizzard brought another 6 inches of snow to Albert Lea, which adds to the 5.5 inches a snowstorm dumped on the city Friday. Because of high winds, it drifted several feet deep in some places.

Nearby, Fairmont had 7 inches in the Saturday storm. Mankato had 5.5 inches. Owatonna had about 5 inches. Up north in Minneapolis, residents got 3.6 inches.

But the snow was only a third of the story. The mercury dipped to 13 below this morning, the coldest for the month so far.

The winds reached their peak Saturday afternoon, hitting 26 mph shortly after 1 p.m., with gusts up to 33 mph. The air temperature at 1 p.m. Saturday was 10 above, but that disappeared quickly. By 5 p.m. it was at 0 degrees and 9 below by midnight. Overnight Saturday to Sunday morning the winds still blew at about 20 mph and stayed in the upper teens through Sunday. They finally reached the single digits for speed in the wee hours this morning.

On Sunday, it wasn’t snowing much, but the high winds reduced visibility and iced over the roads, making rural travel particularly difficult.

The National Weather Service issued a wind chill advisory until 9 a.m. today.

The wind at 7 a.m. was 5 mph, but with the air so cold, 13 below, the wind child was 25 below. The advisory cautioned people to be aware of frost bite and hypothermia.

Did you just dig out your driveway and sidewalks? Keep that shovel handy. There’s more snow on the way.

Albert Lea, Austin, Fairmont, Mankato, Rochester, the Twin Cities, St. Cloud, La Cross, Wis., and much the region is in a winter weather advisory until 9 a.m. Tuesday. Another round of snow is forecast for tonight and Tuesday.

The National Weather Service says a low pressure system will grow on the east side of the Rockies and head toward the Midwest tonight and Tuesday, dropping snow across west and south central Minnesota.

“The bulk of the snow is expected to fall between midnight and 9 a.m. Tuesday,” the forecast reads.

It says the snow accumulation will range from 3 to 5 inches across southern Minnesota and west central Wisconsin. The snowfall likely will affect the Tuesday morning commute.
