MINNEAPOLIS — Winter is back in the Twin Cities after a storm dumped up to 6 inches of snow in parts of the metro area Friday night.

Snow totals Saturday morning ranged from 3.6 inches at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport to 6 inches in Little Canada. The Minnesota State Patrol reported 100 crashes overnight. A dozen involved injuries. No fatal accidents had been reported.

The snow was expected to taper off by midday Saturday with colder temperatures on tap for the next few days, including below-zero temperatures overnight Monday and Tuesday.

Snowfall up until now had been barely half of the 30-year average of 21.2 inches for November and December, with just 10.8 inches recorded in Minneapolis since Nov. 1.
