Plus …Storms may be opportunity for unhoused to seek social services.
Today’s forecast
The last bit of snow tapers off this morning, but clouds linger throughout the afternoon. High temperatures near 20.
❄️❄️❄️
A look ahead at the end of the storm:
Things should wind down by mid-morning, however. Accumulating snow should be done by around 9 a.m., but conditions won’t instantly improve. That’s why the blizzard and winter storm warnings that encompass much of the state will remain in effect until about noon.
The main concern today will be the wind, which will blow snow back onto the roadways that have been cleared by the snow plows.
Meanwhile, temperatures will drop into the teens Thursday afternoon and below zero overnight. Temperatures will be in the single digits by Friday morning.

Storms may be opportunity for unhoused to seek social services
A lot of people have nowhere to go to hide from the storms.
Shelters for the unhoused usually get busier in cold weather and Ramsey County anticipated a lot of people looking for somewhere warm to stay during the stormy nights.
The snowy roads of St. Paul were too dangerous Wednesday night for the shuttle buses that normally take unhoused people to warming spaces.
Instead, the spaces came to them.
The Catholic Charities St. Paul Opportunity Center typically offers services during the day, but Ramsey County arranged for extra staffing to keep it open as a warming space all night.
The doors stayed open at the Union Gospel Mission warming space as well, which they’ve done all winter with help from the county.
They hoped to have enough space for a bigger-than-usual crowd and might have folks sleeping on yoga mats.
Not everyone is ready to take the first step and seek out help, but the bad weather could drive them to the mission and expose them to social services.
