Some 4-5″ inches of snow fell overnight over South-Central Minnesota last night, and more is expected into the late morning hours. The snow has caused many area schools to either delay the start of the school day or cancel school altogether.

Northfield Public Schools are closed, and the students will have an eLearning Day. Northfield Superintendent of Public Schools Dr. Matt Hillmann said snow is already drifting in the rural areas of the district, and with more on the way, it is not safe to transport students at this time.
