Blizzard-related closings for Monday

, , 

Blizzard conditions across much of Minnesota and neighboring states on Sunday are forecast to continue overnight — which could mean another day of difficult travel conditions on Monday.

Because of that, some school districts and colleges have announced plans to delay or cancel classes — or move to online learning — on Monday. Minneapolis, St. Paul and Rochester are among the districts changing plans. Find a complete list below.

In addition, the Minnesota House announced that all committee meetings scheduled for Monday are canceled. The House is still planning a 3:30 p.m. floor session on Monday, “with remote participation encouraged for members unable to arrive safely.”

Snow emergency parking rules continue for many communities across the region, including Minneapolis and St. Paul.
