Once again the Twin Cities is under the siege of a Winter Storm Warning. All customers will be getting plowed and shoveled today and tomorrow. Plowing will be going on throughout the day today, shoveling will be either tonight or tomorrow morning for everyone. Plowing will go through the route during the day today and overnight tonight as most customers will see there drives plowed two times. This is due to the longevity of the storm, it is supposed to continue dumping snow all the way through today and tonight.

Early reports have Fridley at 3.1 inches of snow as of 8AM this morning. The Twin Cities airport has yet to report a specific total. Please be careful today as traffic and poor conditions will be the story of the day.

Snow has once again fallen on the Twin Cities. The National Weather Service out of Chanhassen reported 1.8 inches over most of Hennepin County. That report was this morning at 6AM. Snow has been lightly falling since than. Due to those reports and conditions we will be servicing all customers overnight tonight. Plowing and Shoveling will be performed within 12 hours and 24 hours respectively.
