Snow almost Certain in St. Michael as other Cities Tackle Elections

As the wintry forecast continues to take shape, thousands of Twin Cities area voters will head to the polls on Election Tuesday with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line for several school districts.

Not here, however, where St. Michael-Albertville is now in its second full school year with a 2011 operations levy under its belt. That levy will run through 2021, if allowed to run its full course.

Here’s a couple of headlines for today.

Winter Storm now a Winter Weather Advisory for the Twin Cities

The National Weather Service has backed off its Sunday forecast of a Winter Storm Watch for Tuesday afternoon and evening, but snow is almost a certainty for this area, marking the first official snowfall of the year on Nov. 5.

The Twin Cities branch in Chanhassen is calling for a good chance of accumulation around 3 inches for Wright County, with heavier snow to the south and west. The storm has now sparked a Winter Weather Advisory for the area.

Several Metro Districts Asking for More Dollars

School Districts in Inver Grove Heights, Apple Valley/Eagan and Woodbury are among the number of those going to voters today to ask for millions of dollars to fund educational programs through levies.

Voters will decided on operations levies, bonds to build new buildings in the metro area and technology levies.

Multiple Patch sites around the area will have complete election coverage today from around the Twin Cities.

Get Your Hobby On

Closer to home, it’s time to tinker at Kremer Toy and Hobby in Albertville today.

Complete details can be found here on our calendar of events, but it’s an opportunity to stay and play in what has quickly become one of Albertville’s most popular, locally-owned locations.
