St. Paul and Minneapolis schools canceled Friday classes as frigid weather continues throughout the state, according to the Star Tribune.
The cold weather began to affect metro area schools last week when windchill temperatures reached close to 50 below for several areas, causing schools to cancel classes for several days. According to the Pioneer Press, Friday's cancellation marks the fifth day of this school year cancelled due to cold weather. It also marks the fifth day in the last two weeks were schools have cancelled class due to weather.
The frigid temperatures have also led to numerous reports of car accidents and injuries. On Thursday, 413 crashes were reported before 3:30 p.m., according to a Star Tribune article.
Many cities reported snowfall above four inches, according to the Star Tribune. Some cities even reported as much as nine inches. More snow could be expected next week.
