Snow is the big topic of the day. With a winter storm warning in effect until noon today, Minnesota will be experiencing heavy snowfall with an accumulation rate of up to 2 inches per hour. Schools are either out for the day or opting for online learning, and MnDOT plows (including Blizzo) are hard at work on the streets. Grab your hat, gloves, shovels, and sleds and let’s build a soundtrack for the snow day. And remember - MPR News has your weather updates throughout the storm!

How does this winter storm make you feel? Full of frustration and anger, or joy and whimsy? Will you be out with the snowblower, or maybe inside doing remote work? Express how you're feeling with music. For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs best describe your snow day?
