Authorities are asking you to stay off the roads. White-out conditions persist across much of the region.

 

North Dakota State Patrol Captain Bryan Niewind says troopers have been swamped, running from call to call with vehicles colliding and others sliding in the ditch.

 

I-29 from Grand Forks to the Canadian Border due to blowing snow and drifting at interchanges, creating zero visibility and hazardous driving conditions. I-94 from Jamestown to Valley City was temporarily closed mid-morning due to a crash.

The Minnesota State Patrol closed Eastbound I-94 out of Moorhead around 9:15 A.M. because of zero visibility and several crashes near the weigh scale.   The interstate re-opened about an hour later.
