Get Local Traffic Alerts, Gas Prices on Patch

Though the typical Minnesota snow hasn't come yet this year, you can bet it will—and when it does, traffic problems are bound to pop up.

To help, we've rolled out a new traffic alerts and gas prices tool. All the information in it will update automatically, so you can get the travel news you need in real-time.

This tool will always be accessible via the gray bar above, to the right of the "Places" tab. You can also go right to the traffic alerts and gas prices by clicking here. You may want to bookmark the page if you plan on going to it frequently.
