Follow local news on TwitterThere won't be enough snow today to earn a title like the "St. Patrick's Day Snowstorm," but Twin Cities area residents can expect at least 2 to 4 inches of snow by Tuesday's rush hour.
Of most concern, National Weather Service forecaster Tony Zaleski said, is taking care when shoveling.
Zaleski termed it "heart attack snow" -- a heavy, wet variety that will strain the bodies of shovelers tonight and Tuesday.
Snowfall should start in earnest around 7 tonight and continue through most of the morning rush hour.
Areas to the east in west-central Wisconsin and to the south in Goodhue County, Minn., could get more snow than the Twin Cities area.
As for temperatures, looking for highs into Wednesday in the upper 30s to low 40s, with some refreezing overnight.
