FARGO, N.D. – Heavy snow driven by wind gusting to 40 mph brought parts of the upper Midwest to a halt Tuesday, closing courts, schools, businesses and a major highway.

Up to a foot of snow was forecast Tuesday for parts of eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota.

The National Weather Service posted blizzard warnings and winter storm warnings for wide areas of North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota. All three states reported school closings.

Minnesota and North Dakota authorities shut down a 130-mile stretch of Interstate 94 from Jamestown, N.D., to Fergus Falls, Minn.

""You think this is funny. But what about when all that snow melts and runs into the ocean? Then what?"

The second spring we were in Minnesota was the year the Red River flooded from snowmelt, flowed into the St. Croix, then the Minnesota flooded, and they all flowed into the Mississippi, and you all know the rest of the story...

Here in Cheyenne, it was -2° F on my morning drive to work. Woke up to 2” of snow and that, after temps in the 60’s last week.
