Spring-like Easter threatened by major April blizzard.

A major storm system is expected to hit Minnesota on Tuesday, with mostly rain in the Twin Cities and an icy mix in central and northeastern Minnesota. Heavy snow and high winds are expected in the far north and northwest, with blizzard warnings in effect for eastern North Dakota and a chunk of northwestern Minnesota. The heaviest snowfall totals are expected in the Red River Valley and northwestern Minnesota, with up to 2 feet of snow possible. A more springlike air mass is expected to blow in this weekend, with high temperatures around 60 degrees in the Twin Cities.
