Batten down the hatches and be prepared for an April blizzard.

St. Cloud State University meteorology Professor Bob Weiseman says the whole state is about to be hit with a variety of snow, slush and rain. Here in St. Cloud he predicts that we will get fluffy snow Wednesday night and into the morning, then lots of wet snow during the day Thursday. He says St. Cloud could get anywhere from 8 to 16 inches of snow.

The worst blizzard conditions are expected to be in West Central to North West Minnesota, who could get up to two feet of snow in the coming days.
