Even though Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow on Saturday morning, winter is going strong across the upper Midwest. The North Dakota Department of Transportation and the North Dakota Highway Patrol closed I-94 eastbound and westbound between Dickinson and Mandan due to blowing snow and near-zero visibility.
A "no travel advisory" has also been extended to western and central regions north of I-94 and the northwest region of the state due to snow, blowing snow and reduced visibility creating hazardous driving conditions.
