Accessing storage queue from Azure Function while locally hosted

I've created an Azure Function that is triggered by a timer, which connects to a storage queue and grabs the next few messages, it runs every minute:

using System;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host;
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using VS.Core.JobRunner;

namespace VS.JobRunner {
    public static class JobRunner {

        [FunctionName("JobRunner")]
        public static void Run([TimerTrigger("0 */1 * * * *")]TimerInfo myTimer, TraceWriter log) {

            var storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(
                    "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=xxxxxxxxx;AccountKey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net");

            var queueClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudQueueClient();
            var queueWait = queueClient.GetQueueReference("jobs-waiting-uat");
            var queueProcessing = queueClient.GetQueueReference("jobs-processing-uat");

            var messages = queueWait.GetMessages(10, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(55));

            foreach (var message in messages) {

                log.Info($"Processing {message.AsString}");

                queueWait.DeleteMessage(message);

                try {
                    var jobMessage = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JobMessage>(message.AsString);

                    if (jobMessage.ExecuteTime <= DateTime.Now) {
                        log.Info($"Send message to processing queue.");

                        queueProcessing.AddMessage(message);

                    } else {
                        log.Info($"Requeue message.");
                        queueWait.AddMessage(message);

                    }

                } catch (Exception ex) {
                    log.Error(ex.Message);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

It deploys to Azure with no issues, and happily runs and does its thing. But when I try to run it locally to do some testing, it fails with the following:

I'm guessing its missing a reference to Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage somewhere, but where do I add this reference? I've tried adding WindowsAzure.Storage nuget package, but it still errors.

References

Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions v1.0.6
Newtonsoft.Json v11.0.1

UPDATE

I tried adding WindowsAzure.Storage v9.0.1 to the project, but that results in a different error:

[08/03/2018 09:47:55] A ScriptHost error has occurred
[08/03/2018 09:47:55] Exception while executing function: JobRunner. VS.JobRunner: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage, Version=9.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'. Could not find or load a specific file. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131621). System.Private.CoreLib: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage, Version=9.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'.

You are clearly struggling with version conflicts. Azure Functions are sensitive to problems when multiple versions of the same library are referenced. To avoid them:

1. Update Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions to the latest version.
2. Update the runtime to the latest version.
3. Do not reference any version of WindowsAzure.Storage explicitly, it should only be referenced transitively from Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions.
