IF YOU'RE NEAR A PLOW.
THEY SAY THE FEWER VEHICLES IS
MAKING THEIR JOB EASIER.
FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE THE FALLING
FLAKES EQUAL FUN.
KIDS COULD GO OUTSIDE AND ENJOY
THE WEATHER SINCE THEY WEREN'T
IN SCHOOL.
ANGELA DAVIS IS IN ST. PAUL
WHERE MISDEMEANOR PEOPLE ARE
ENJOYING THE COMO PARK SKI
CENTER.
Reporter: THEY HAD A GREAT
TIME TODAY.
FRESH SNOW FALL IS A GIFT.
WE FOUND PLENTY OF KIDS WITH THE
DAY OFF OF SCHOOL BECAUSE OF
PRESIDENT'S DAY AND THEIR
PARENTS, WHO HAD THE DAY OFF OF
WORK, OUT SPENDING TIME ON THEIR
SKIS AND SNOW BOARDS.
AT THE SKI CENTER IN ST. PAUL,
VISITORS WELCOMED A FRESH COAT
OF SNOW, EVEN IF IT CAME WITH A
LAYER OF ICE.
SKI INSTRUCT YES OR NO ANDY
ENCOURAGED THE KIDS TO DIG IN.
SNOW WHAT MAKES MINNESOTA
STRONG.
Reporter: THESE CHILDREN
GLEEFULLY GRABBED ONTO THE TOW
ROPE TO GET TO THE TOP OF THE
MOUNTAIN AND MADE THEIR WAY DOWN
THE BEST THEY COULD.
THIS WAS 3-YEAR-OLD COOPER'S
FIRST TIME ON SKIS.
WHAT DO YOU I OF SKIING?
GOOD -- WHAT DO YOU THINK OF
SKIING?
GOOD.
AND THE NEW SNOW TODAY?
GOOD.
YOU LIKE THE NEW SNOW?
HOW ARE THE CONDITION S?
A LITTLE ICY.
BUT IT WAS FUN.
HOW DID COOPER DO?
FIRST TIME SKI.
HE KEPT HIS PIZZA SLICE.
THAT IS GOOD.
HIS TOES TOGETHER.
NOT EVERYONE HAD TIME TO HAVE
FUN IN THE SNOW.
SOME PEOPLE HAD TO WORK ON THEIR
WINDSHIELDS AND WINDOWS BEFORE
THEY HEADED INTO WORK.
JUST A LOT MORE WORK.
WHEN IT IS JUST SNOW IT IS A LOT
EASIER, BUT THE ICE, YOU SPEND
AN EXTRA 15 OR 20 MINUTES JUST
CLEARING IT.
Reporter: THAT IS TRUE.
YEAH, WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN TO
WORK AND TO DOWNTOWN MINNEAPOLIS
FROM ST. PAUL THIS MORNING, THE
FREEZING RAIN WAS FALLING AND
STICKING TO THE WINDSHIELD
WIPERS, CLOGGING THEM UP.
THAT LATER TURNED TO A LIGHT,
FLUFFY SNOW AND RIGHT NOW, THE
FREEZING RAIN HAS RETURNED,
AMELIA.
THE THING TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE
YOU'RE DRIVING IS THE ON AND OFF
RAMPS.
SLOW IT DOWN THERE.
IT IS ICY IN THOSE SPOTS IN
PARTICULAR.
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.
THANK YOU, ANGELA.
TO TRACK THE WINTER WITH
THE, DOWN LOAD THE WEATHER ON
THE GO APP.
