As this weekend's blizzard wraps up on Sunday, officials from both Duluth and Superior are asking the public to stay home - even as snow ends - and to be patient with the snow removal process.

He also asked residents to help neighbors with the snow removal process and to help with the process of moving cars parked on streets, which will help city crews as they plow roadways.
