-30 Wind Chill, Flash Freezing Roads Wednesday: Minnesota Weather

TWIN CITIES, MN — The National Weather Service has issued wind chill warnings for much of central Minnesota, including the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area.

"Plan on slippery road conditions," says the NWS. "The hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening commute. The dangerously cold wind chills could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes."
