MINNEAPOLIS — Freezing temperatures and high winds continued to affect travel across Minnesota on Saturday as forecasters warned that more inclement weather is on the way.
The Minnesota State Patrol reported hundreds of crashes and more than two dozen injuries between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Winds gusts reached 74 mph in places like Grand Marais. And although some travel restrictions were lifted and parts of I-90 were reopened, state officials said people should still travel with caution.
"Highways are reopening & conditions are slowly improving in southern Minnesota, but please DRIVE WITH CAUTION," the Minnesota Department of Transportation tweeted Saturday afternoon. "Blowing snow is still creating drifts, limited visibility + slick spots across the region — and several highways remain closed or No Travel Advised this afternoon."
