Snow Blankets Hopkins

The National Weather Service predicts that Hopkins could get an additional six to 10 inches of snow Saturday in a storm that has already prompted widespread cancellations and dangerous driving conditions.

The city declared a snow emergency as winds whipped up snowfall blanketing the area at about an inch an hour.

The blizzard-like conditions prompted the cancellation of most Saturday events and the ACTs many students were scheduled to take.

Nevertheless, downtown storeowners continued to shovel sidewalks and plow parking lots.
