Be alert! MnDOT crews in SE Minnesota are using the lull in the winter weather to burn tree debris that's often infected with emerald ash borer. Signs on the road warn about the burning ahead and the possibility of smoke. MnDOT crews monitor the burn. #mndot #mntraffic

The snow is done, but the work isn't. Crews wrapped up a week of light snow and strong winds, which meant 12-hour shifts through much of the week. Today the snowplows are getting a good cleaning and their 1,000-mile review. #rochmn #MnDOT #mntraffic

Plan accordingly depending where you are driving today. Check https://t.co/MEmqELpVHX or the free app to see road conditions.
Heads, up, we've upgraded much of southwest and south central Minnesota into a Blizzard Warning from 1pm this afternoon to 7pm this evening. If you have travel planned in this region later today, now would be a good time to alter those plans if possible. #mnwx

Ever seen a snowplow pulling a trailer? That’s a tow plow! It lets one truck clear two lanes at once, making winter driving safer and smoother. If you see one in action, stay back and give our crew a safe space to clear the road. Learn more in this MnDOT Minute.

If you drive on the 4th Street NW bridge over I-90 in Austin, pull up to the crosswalk to activate the turn signal. (But don't stop on the crosswalk.) Some vehicles are stopping too far back and aren't being detected so the turn signal doesn't activate. https://t.co/fcNWWPJTVe

A winter system is expected to track eastward through the Upper Midwest on Sunday afternoon and evening (noon to 9 PM). Accumulating snowfall is favored along and north of I-94. Meanwhile a wintry mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain is favored between I-90 and I-94.
