This hour is all about the snow.

First, Angela Davis checked in with the city of St. Paul on where it's putting the excessive amounts of snow this season.

Then, a conversation with renowned polar explorer Ann Bancroft, the first woman known to have crossed the ice to reach both the North and South poles.

Bancroft started a foundation that has awarded grants totaling more than $1.4 million to more than 4,000 Minnesotan girls who have big ideas.

Guests:

Kathy Lantry— St. Paul's public works director

Ann Bancroft— Polar explorer
