Good morning, commuters!

A large house fire on the 3800 block of Park Avenue in south Minneapolis has some streets in the area blocked.

Until things are cleaned up and roads opened, Chicago Avenue or I-35W might be the best plan of action. Further to the east Bloomington Avenue up to 26th Street, then west back over to Park Avenue could also work.

Elsewhere, roads are dry, but it's another brisk one out there. Dress warm.

I'll be keeping an eye on the roads and rails this morning, reporting any delays or issues — and I will need your help.

If you see or hear about any congestion, delays or problems, e-mail drive@startribune or tweet @stribdrive.
