As 2021 might go down as the year of lateness, Mother Nature decided to follow the year's theme. Many people wanted a white Christmas but Mother Nature had other plans and provided snow after Christmas, greeting holiday travelers.
Our neighbor's to the north had shut down Interstate 29 statewide and Interstate 94 from Bismarck to Fargo as blizzard conditions are being reported. Secondary roads across the north and eastern regions of North Dakota are under no travel advisories this morning.

Winds this morning are strong with gusts from 30 to 45mph have been reported. This is causing an additional issue on the road, as snow is easily being picked up and blown around.
