The North Dakota Department of Transportation and the North Dakota Highway Patrol has closed U.S. Highway 2 from Devils Lake to Grand Forks because of blowing snow resulting in near-zero visibility. Roads are closed when conditions create a life-threatening danger to motorists, NDDOT said. Highway 2 also is closed from East Grand Forks to Crookston.

The roadway is impassable and it is against the law to drive past a road closure device on a closed road. Motorists should obey road closures, even when a sign or a gate is not present, officials said.

Interstate 94 is closed from Bismarck to Fargo and Interstate 29 is closed from the Canadian border to the South Dakota border.
