The weather in parts of Minnesota is too bad for snowplows.

The Department of Transportation pulled the plows off the roads
until daybreak in the storm area across the southern part of the
state.

That's where blizzard conditions have caused highway and
weather officials to advise everyone to stay home and avoid the
snow, wind and bitter cold.

The transportation department had already issued a no-travel
advisory spanning 25 counties across the southern part of the
state.

Driving conditions are described as extremely poor due to
heavy snowfall and reduced visibility.

The forecast includes a blizzard warning for the southwest and
winter storm warning for the rest of the state, all in effect into
tomorrow.

With temperatures dropping, the highs tomorrow are only expected
to range from 5 below to 5 above zero.

Snow is likely to continue tomorrow but let up by tomorrow night as overnight lows drop to 10 below to 20 below.
