Twin Cities commuters are experiencing a messier and slower commute Monday morning.

Numerous spinouts and crashes were reported after a light coating snow fell Sunday night.

A narrow band of heavier snow, about 3 to 4 inches, arrived in southern Minnesota, south of Mankato.

"It's slick anywhere it snows," said Todd Krause, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Chanhassen. "So there's the usual advice about slowing down and allowing adequate time for traveling."

Additional light snow is expected Monday night.
