4-6 Inches of New Snow Expected In Rice and Steele Counties

Here we go again, it seems we are always following up some really gorgeous days with the news of snow. The National Weather Service has announced that our area will be in a winter storm warning beginning Monday morning. In the announcement it is predicting between 4-6 inches of snow in our area between 6AM Monday and 6AM Tuesday. 

Monday's weather will start off with rain and temps in the mid-thirties which will fall to around freezing throughout the day and causing the rain to turn over into snow. To go along with the falling precipitation those commuting will also be dealing with winds out of the Southeast 10-15mph with peak gusts of 25mph.

One New Prague resident was a little skeptical about the amounts predicted by the National Weather Service.
