In our area, MSP is already reporting a number of crashes, especially from Clarks Grove to Albert Lea, where the State Patrol is reporting at least six crashes due in part to light slush on the road.

As the weather conditions worsen, ABC 6 News will continue to track impacts to roads, power outages and more.
