"No Travel Advisories" Lifted Across North Dakota

Posted: Updated:

North Dakota Highway officials have lifted all of the "No Travel Advisories" across the state, although travel alerts remain in effect for the Fargo, Valley City and Grand Forks areas. U.S. Highway 85 is blocked from the junction of ND 50 to ND 5 in northwest North Dakota due to heavy snow drifts. In addition, ND Highway 50 is blocked from the junction of US 85 to ND 42 near Alamo due to a traffic incident.  

NDDOT snowplows are out in full force clearing roadways and motorists are advised to stay back from the plows, slow down and watch for changing road conditions. All travelers are encouraged to monitor road conditions as weather conditions occur and use caution while traveling. For road information, call 511 from any type of phone or go to the website: www.dot.nd.gov.   

This is all part of a record-setting late-winter storm has begun moving out of the Red River Valley. The storm that hit late Sunday and Monday brought freezing rain to parts of the two states and heavy snow to areas of North Dakota. As much as a foot was reported in several cities in the north. 

The National Weather Service says Grand Forks on Monday received a record amount of snow for the date, with 7 inches. Minot not only got a foot of snow but also set a rainfall record for the date, along with Williston. Williston also got half a foot of snow.
