Some students who are not on spring break this week got an unscheduled day off Monday as the weekend snowstorm led officials to call off classes or start them late.

Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport got a record 8.2 inches of snow overnight, according to the National Weather Service. Some suburbs declared snow emergencies, but neither Minneapolis nor St. Paul had called one as of 5:45 a.m. Monday. The snow started turning to rain on Monday morning, which should help melt the accumulation.
