Anyone in the Twin Cities?

Question

I'm downtown Mpls. It's snowing pretty hard. Does anyone know when the best time to try to make it home will be? Will there be any let up this afternoon?

Should I try to leave early or wait it out until this evening? What is the safest? What are you doing?

I live 20 miles north (slightly west) of MPLS.
