A fast-moving winter storm swept through the upper Midwest, bringing with it snow, ice, strong winds, and bitter cold. The storm caused disruptions in traffic, with North Dakota officials even shutting down an interstate highway due to hazardous conditions.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for large areas of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the Dakotas. Snow-covered and treacherous interstates led to several accidents, resulting in injuries but fortunately no reported deaths.
