Minnesota State Troopers respond to weekend crashes
MINNEAPOLIS — The weekend snow caught some Minnesota drivers off-guard and state troopers said they responded to more than 100 crashes between Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.
Minnesota State Patrol reported that between 4 p.m. Saturday and 1:30 p.m. Sunday, troopers reported to more than 114 crashes, 19 of those with injuries, 66 vehicles that had spun out or gone off the road and one jackknifed semi.
The southern portions of the state saw just over an inch of snow, other areas had just a trace amount.
No more snow is expected to fall on Sunday, but temps will drop and winds will pick up.

GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. — Talking about life-changing events like illness, injury and aging isn’t always pleasant, but avoiding those conversations can make things much harder when they do happen.
A Twin Cities couple is trying to help spur important discussions with a new interactive workbook called “Family Conversations We Must Have But Do Not Want To.” Lisa White, a registered nurse and Michael White, a licensed nursing home administrator and assisted living director, wrote the workbook to steer individuals, seniors, couples and families toward making life decisions so they’re on the same page.
The Whites visited KARE 11 Saturday to talk about the book and the personal story that had them struggling in the search for answers to important questions.
