KAXE covered natural disasters, federal funding chaos, Eichorn's arrest and resignation, mining permits and wild rice, library budget cuts, sheriffs teaming with ICE and more.

"No Travel Advised" means the visibility has been reduced to the point that it is very dangerous to travel in parts of Minnesota.

Most of the Northland will be impacted by some combination of freezing rain, heavy snow, high winds and low temperatures Dec. 17-18, 2025.

The potential for high winds in northwest Minnesota has diminished somewhat, but heavy snow rates and light, blowing snow are still risks for those traveling.

Two systems bringing snow to Northern Minnesota Dec. 8-10, 2025, will bring at least a few inches to nearly everyone, with somewhere in the Arrowhead getting dumped on.

A weather system moving west to east could bring heavy, blowing snow beginning Tuesday morning, Nov. 25, 2025, to much of the state, with more expected on the North Shore.

Planning for natural disasters minimizes the impact of events that can cause vast economic loss and personal hardship, and plan updates make the county eligible for FEMA funding.
