Winter storm hit the Twin Cities metro area during the overnight hours with anywhere for 2-5 inches of snow depending on the location around the metro.
Footage includes cars that are in the ditch, vehicle stuck in deep snow and trying to be pushed out by a state trooper, lots of MnDot snow plow crews out clearing the roads and heavy snow falling.
Last two clips were shot in Saint Cloud, MN of MnDot snow plow crews on Highway 23.
Motorists need to take extra care around the snow plows as there is reduced visibility with the plows and the blowing snow.
