1 Runway Reopens At MSP Airport
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport has closed all but one runway due to the snowstorm.
On Wednesday morning, the airport said low visibility and fast rate of snowfall is prompting runway closures. One of four runways are open.
"We're doing our best to battle the snow and get some more friction on the runways," the airport said.
Conditions have not improved much, but our team was able to safely re-open one of our runways. Please make sure to check with your airline to verify the status of your flight before heading out to MSP Airport today.

We did some research, and we currently have about 110 pieces of snow removal equipment active on the airfield! https://t.co/f1nnCSJVVA

Delays are to be expected. Check here for the latest airport conditions.
All of our plows are going non-stop, but the snow is not letting up at the moment. Once conditions lighten up, we should be able to get another runway back online.
