Road conditions across Minnesota slowly improving after weekend snowstorm

Though the snowstorm that lashed Minnesota on Sunday has wrapped up, road conditions were still challenging Monday morning.
A NEXT Drive Alert and no-travel advisory that were in place during the morning commute have since been lifted. According to the Minnesota Department of Transportation, most Twin Cities roads are normal or partially covered. Conditions are worse, but improving, in central and southern Minnesota.
Interstate 35 southbound between the Iowa border and Albert Lea had been closed, but reopened around 1 p.m. Monday, MnDOT said.
According to the Minnesota State Patrol, between 12 a.m. Sunday and 7 a.m. Monday, there were more than 400 crashes on state roads. Someone was injured in 33 crashes. In addition, hundreds of vehicles left the roadway and dozens spun out.
Another weak system may bring light snow north of Interstate 94 on Tuesday, with a better chance for an inch or two on Wednesday.
