Monster Snow Storm On the Way
Burnsville and the rest of the south metro could be in for a belated Snowmaggedon courtesy of Old Man Winter.
After month of unusually temperate weather, it looks like Jack Frost is coming back with a vengeance.
At noon on Monday, the National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Watch for Burnsville and other towns across the south and central Minnesota: Over Tuesday and Wednesday an oncoming storm could dump six to 12 inches of snow on the Twin Cities region.
Forecasters anticipate the worst in west central Minnesota, from Granite Falls to Staples, where heavy snowfall of up to 20 inches and high winds could lead to blizzard conditions. However, there is some uncertainty about the storm's path. If the storms shifts, Burnsville and neighboring towns could be bombarded with more snow than anticipated. Sleet and freezing rain are also possible.
