Closed captioning of: Minnesota headed for record snowfall
>>> rain have made for treacherous travel on roads and forced cancellation of hundred of flights in and out of airports around the country. winter weather caused problems in new york city . several inches of snow fell in central park before turning into slush on the ground. mike seidel live in minneapolis, minnesota, where, mike, i understand you're under a winter weather advisory there, right?
>> reporter: we are until 6:00. you can see the snow is back. it's not snowing as hard as last night but redusting the roadway. what they've done today is dug out nicely. a series, convoy of bobcats, tamron, street sweepers. they have been taking the snow out of here about a big storm and it's adding up. last check over a foot of snow, 12.3. biggest february snowstorm on record in the twin cities . not only northeast gets hammered but the midwest. right now, as we stand it's the third snowiest season on record in minneapolis st. paul. we only need four more inches and that's it. you know it snows into march. it can snow in april here. it has snowed in may in the twin cities . no doubt we will break that record some time in the next few weeks. go right ahead, sir. go right ahead. the snow will end later today and another shot of arctic air comes in friday and saturday. tamron, as my father used to say eloquently, mike, you make a better door than a window. back to you.
>> got to love dad for the honesty and great weather reporting and the traffic control.
