The National Weather Service's advisory is from 3 p.m. Sunday to 3 a.m. Monday.
Golden Valley is in a Winter Weather Advisory starting at 3 p.m. Sunday. The National Weather Service says snow accumulations could reach 2 to 4 inches, with as much as 5 inches in some areas. Unfortunately, that means the snow will coincide with people traveling to and from Super Bowl parties. "A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of snow will cause travel difficulties," according to the NWS. "Be prepared for snow-covered roads and limited visibilities ... and use caution while driving." Chances for snow will be sporadic this week in Golden Valley, with high temperatures in the low 30s and lows in the single digits. Here is the full weather statement: URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/…

Hennepin Sheriff Rich Stanek reminds parents and caregivers to keep children away from thin ice.
Editor's Note: The following is a Hennepin County Sheriff's Office press release. Hennepin Sheriff Rich Stanek is reminding parents and caregivers to keep children away from thin ice on partially frozen ponds, lakes, and all bodies of water. Most victims of fatal accidents on the ice in Hennepin County have been children. “When your child is near the ice or the water, you should be near your child,” said Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek, “I urge you to provide clear rules about ice safety throughout the winter months.” No ice should ever be considered safe. Small bodies of water such as ponds are especially a hazard now since they are the most likely to have a thin layer of ice. A dusting of snow or frost may give thin ice the …

The temperature could hit 50 degrees in the Twin Cities Tuesday, adding to one of the warmest winters in decades.
The bizarre winter weather continues as temperatures climb into the 50s today. Don’t be surprised if the mercury rises to 52 degrees, as the bizarre winter weather continues. “I really thought we were going to be punished for this unusually nice winter,” Donna Prevo said.

According to weather records, this is the “easiest winter” Minnesotans have seen in 81 years. The last winter with similar temperatures and lack of snow was in 1930-1931. In 2001 Minnesota had a slightly warmer winter, but dealt with 66 inches of snow. “I know March can bring a lot of snow, but with such a nice week …

That's what I meant. I was driving on ice and snow today in Golden Valley and everyone had predicted there would be a messy slush and that it would melt within hours. I realize it will probably melt in the next couple days, Michael. Something tells me you're a smart alec:) more ›
