Snowy April

By Dylan Belden, Albert Lea Tribune

A man and a boy ride bicycles down Front Street in Albert Lea

Monday morning as heavy snow falls. Snow piled up overnight and

continued into the morning as more than six inches covered the

ground. Albert Lea police said a few car accidents were reported,

but that more common was cars getting stuck in the snow. Most

schools in the area, including Albert Lea, Glenville-Emmons, Alden-Conger

and United South Central, were closed because of the snow. More

snow was forecast for later in the day, but temperatures were

expected to hit more normal levels – into the 60s – by later this

week.
