Winter Weather in Le Sueur, Minnesota

The nearest AWOS located at the Mankato Regional Airport reported an hour of light rain, which made for slippery travel conditions for the morning commute. A CoCoRaHS observer 6 miles south of New Prague reported that freezing rain made roads incredibly slippery, sending cars into the ditch, which led to road closures.

A small band of primarily freezing rain and sleet developed across southwestern Minnesota then tracked east across central and eastern Minnesota. The band of precipitation produced an hour or two of a light wintry mix resulting in minor ice and sleet accumulation before changing into all snow. As a result of the freezing rain, slick travel conditions existed during the morning commute. Travel advisories were issued by MnDOT for portions of south-central MN due to slippery roads.
