The snow should continue falling through midnight Thursday. Weisman also warns this afternoon’s and Friday morning’s commutes for St. Cloud will be affected due to the snow along with temperatures dropping back to the single digits.

The southern third of Minnesota, including the Interstate 35 corridor is taking the brunt of the storm, with snowfall reaching 8-to-12 inches and wind gusts up to 55 miles-per-hour. They remain in a steady blizzard warning until noon Friday.
