MPR News UpdateAM edition
2018 Election Coverage on MPR News
Good morning! Light snow developing later, with snow totals ranging from a dusting in western Minnesota to 1-2 inches in the eastern part of the state. Highs near 30. Normally, I use this part of the morning newsletter to point you in the direction of a funny story or a feel-good tale. But today I'm going to direct your attention to these two stories of two missing children in Minnesota -- one of them a 3-year-old girl and another an 11-year-old boy. Please call the police if you have information about their whereabouts. | What's on MPR News today?  | Forecast
