ST. CLOUD -- The Minnesota State Patrol is urging you to slow down when driving tonight (Monday).

The steady snowfall added to an increase in traffic crashes since Noon. The state patrol sent out a message on Twitter that says there have been a total of 39 traffic crashes in the Twin Cities metro area since about 12:00 p.m.
