Good morning and welcome to the day after Christmas. Here’s what you need to know to start your day.
You knew the warm up could not last forever, right? Most of us will be dealing with areas of dense fog in this morning. Snow expected up north. More on Updraft. | Forecast
Christmas morning fire brings out goodwill. A four-alarm fire at a downtown Minneapolis shelter left hundreds displaced on Christmas morning and hundreds more bearing donations of clothes, toys, diapers and more. The fire smoldered all day. The cause remains unknown.
