Burnsville District Cancels School, Morning Commute Treacherous

This morning's commute promises to be challenging after a large snow storm swept into the area last night.

Due to inclement weather, school is cancelled for today, March 5, 2013. This includes Community Education programs and Project Kids. Any updates will be posted to www.isd191.org.

Out on the roads, Dakota County snow plow crews began their first sweep of major thoroughfares like County Road 42 and Cedar Avenue at 2 a.m.

However, road conditions are still labeled "difficult" on all. Expect delays.

As of 6 a.m. I-35 W had already seen some at least one accident. On  I-35W northbound in Bloomington a vehicle has spun out between Exit 7A (94th Street) and Exit 7B (90th Street). Further north, in Minneapolis, a vehicle has stalled in the southbound lanes of I-35W near East 35th Street. There are reports of a stalled vehicle. The road is blocked.
