Winter Weather Advisory issued December 18 at 1:50AM CST until December 18 at 9:00PM CST by NWS Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
...GUSTY WINDS, BLOWNG SNOW, AND ICY FLASH FREEZE CONDITIONS TODAY...
.Light snow, gusty northwest winds of 40 to 50 mph, & plummeting
temperatures develop today behind an Arctic front. While snow
accumulations will likely only be an inch or less, low visibility is
expected as the gusty winds blow around the falling snow. Localized &
brief bursts of heavier snow & whiteout conditions are also possible
with sporadic snow squalls during the afternoon.
Temperatures plummet behind the front into the single digits & below
zero through the afternoon & evening. This may lead to flash freeze
conditions, where any snow & residual moisture quickly freezes onto
untreated roads & surfaces. These icy flash freeze conditions will be
most impactful during the evening commute.
* WHAT...A combination of winds gusting 40 to 50 mph, low visibility
in falling snow, and flash freeze conditions leading to icy roads
and surfaces.

Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, Ramsey,
