Minnesota Snow Day Deals and Specials?
Sorry. While snow day deals are popular in other parts of the country, in Minnesota, if the weather is bad enough to close schools, it is generally not advisable to go out. Therefore, we don’t see a lot of these deals in our area. If we do see them, we’ll share them here and readers are welcome to share in the comments. Please use caution if you drive.
5 Ways to Get School Closing Information

- Fox9 School Closings
- KARE 11 School Closings
- KSTP Shcool Closings
- WCCO School Closings
- Sign up for automated phone calls or texts through your school
