Anonymous20 days ago

Winter Storm Iona — a bomb cyclone driven by a displaced polar vortex lobe — has unleashed blizzard conditions across Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, dumping 12 to 24 inches of snow on the Twin Cities, canceling more than 500 flights at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, and prompting Governor Tim Walz to activate the National Guard. The storm, potentially the biggest of the 2025-26 winter season, has triggered blizzard warnings across 14 counties, snow emergencies in Minneapolis and St. Paul, and whiteout conditions that the National Weather Service says make travel "very difficult or impossible."
