A major winter storm is forecast to bring blizzard conditions to southern Minnesota from Tuesday night through Wednesday afternoon. The heaviest snow — possibly 6 to 12 inches — is expected for Albert Lea, Faribault, Rochester, and Red Wing, along with winds gusting in excess of 50 miles per hour. A Canadian official Tuesday announced his intentions to impose a 25 percent export tax on electricity to Minnesota. That’s if President Donald Trump doesn't remove his tariffs on Canada. Ontario premier Doug Ford says his province supplies electricity to about 1.5 million homes in bordering U.S. states: Minnesota, New York and Michigan. Ford says if the U.S. continues its tariffs, he's also willing to completely cut off access to electricity and other natural resources. And Target's profits and sales slipped in its fourth quarter, according to its latest earnings report released this Tuesday morning. But it still beat most projections.
