I drove around a bit this morning, but didn't see many accidents or anything. One sign over by CityWalk was knocked down though.

From the Math and Science Academy this morning on school being closed yesterday:
1. If District 833 (South Washington County) is closed, we are. They do our bussing and it is in their hands. Whether we appear on the scroll at the bottom of your T.V. or not, if they are closed, we are.
2. WCCO radio and T.V. is the best media place to check.
3. Call the school; there will be a message left on the machine.
4. Check the website.
5. Check your email. If you have signed up to receive listservs, you will be notified by email.
...
So, the make-up day will be added at the end of the school year. Instead of ending June 5 we will have the last day of school on June 6.
