UPDATED: Snow, ice make for dangerous driving conditions

BEMIDJI -- The Minnesota Department of Transportation issued a travel advisory Monday afternoon for northwest Minnesota because of icy roads caused by rain, wet snow, high winds and freezing temperatures.

At about noon, officials said no travel was advised on U.S. Highway 2 from Bagley to Grand Forks, N.D., as a blizzard system socked much of the Red River Valley Sunday night into Monday. That advisory was later lifted, but roads were still listed as icy or snow covered from Bemidji west to Grand Forks along U.S. Highway 2 as of early afternoon on Monday.

The North Dakota Department of Transportation also posted no-travel advisories and closed portions of Highway 2, as well as Interstate 29 and Interstate 94, in that state on Monday.
