Severe Weather Awareness Week

Just because winter is behind us doesn't mean severe weather is over. Minnesota State Patrol Sergeant Curt Mower said this is Severe Weather Awareness Week and the point is to encourage drivers to plan ahead and know how to respond to inclement weather. Mower said this week is also the 34th Annual Minnesota Alcohol Traffic Safety conference at the Holiday Inn in West St. Cloud at Highways 15 and 23. Mower said the conference starts on Wednesday, April 23 for three days. To register, go online to www.matsa.us or call 800-362-3667, extension 7307.
