YOUR GUIDE TO THE TWIN CITIES
Much of northern and western Minnesota has much deeper snow cover than usual for early January.
Fargo-Moorhead, with 14 inches on the ground (and 39.6 having fallen this season), expects such a depth only once in 20 or more. In the Twin Cities, the 3 inches on the ground at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport is about average for the date, according to the Department of Natural Resources' climatology office.
Skiers, snowmobilers and others don't have to kick themselves if they can't get out this weekend. Deep cold is expected to roll across the region late Monday and to preserve the snow at least through next week.
Highs in the Twin Cities are expected to be only barely above zero Tuesday through Thursday. Highs in northern Minnesota will remain below zero, with lows sinking to double digits below zero.
