There is still plenty of snow to come today, but as of 10 a.m. here are some snow totals as reported by the National Weather Service.

11 inches in Oakdale, 10.5 inches in Shakopee, 7.5 inches in St. Paul, 7.1 inches at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, 6.5 inches in Minnetonka, 6 inches in Richfield and Hastings.

Those numbers will change quickly as another band of heavy snow moves through the area. It's piling up at 2 inches an hour in Menomonie, Wis., just 40 minutes east of the Twin Cities.

A blizzard warning is now in effect for most of southwestern Minnesota, roughly from Morris to Faribault to Rochester.
