National Weather Service predicts a ‘wintry mix’ tonight, followed by up to eight inches of snow by Monday morning. As the freezing rain, sleet and snow fall on Sunday, share your winter weather photos with Woodbury Patch.

A winter storm warning is in effect from midnight Sunday through 6 a.m. Monday for Woodbury, as “Orko” sweeps across Minnesota.

Police: Woodbury Handled Snow Emergency Well

After more than a foot of snow blanketed the city, Woodbury roads were fairly clear Sunday morning.

As the biggest snowstorm in recent memory blasted the Twin Cities with more than a foot of snow, Woodbury managed to escape relatively unscathed. There were no major incidents during the storm, said Woodbury police Sgt. Neil Bauer, and public works crews had left for home sometime Sunday morning. The National Weather Service reported that 17.2 inches of snow, among the most in the metro area, hit Woodbury during Saturday's storm. Woodbury schools canceled most events, as did several area churches. And even the Metrodome roof caved in.
