Snow reports around the region! If you don't see your town that means we didn't receive a snow report from your area: grab that ruler, get an average measurement & send it to weather@wday.com
We'd love to share how much snow your spot picked up! (send any snow photos there as well) #ndwx #mnwx #snow

While there is some rumblings of a storm next week, there is little confidence on how things will play out.

Stay with the StormTRACKER team for updates as we get closer to the event!
