Minnesota hit with snow ahead of Thanksgiving. Here is a look at totals so far.

As snow gradually tapers off in Minnesota on Wednesday morning, it's leaving behind some significant totals in parts of the state. 

Rain gave way to snow in the latter half of Tuesday, impacting travel conditions and prompting many schools to issue closings and delays for Wednesday morning. Impacts to roads are expected to linger, with icy spots and blowing snow reducing visibility.
