Another winter storm

At least this next round of moisture will be all in the form of snow rather than a sloppy mess of rain or freezing precipitation. Most of the day Wednesday will remain dry for most of us with continued mild temperatures. Highs will range from the low to mid-30s in southeast Minnesota to the teens in northwest Minnesota.
