Sheriffs Hunt and Beckman are advising NO TRAVEL in Traill and Steele Counties. Please listen to that advice and stay off the roads. Visibility, especially in open areas, is low. Even if you think you are a good driver, others are not, and skill has nothing to do with driving in this weather, since visibility is reduced.
From the National Weather Service out of Grand Forks, becoming stranded in this weather could be life threatening. EMS WILL have a hard time getting to you.

12/17/2025

Blizzard Warning in effect for Traill County beginning Thursday at 3am. Whiteout conditions are expected, which will make travel difficult to near impossible. Please, if you do not have to travel, stay home and off the roads.

Blizzard conditions are forecast late tonight into Thursday. Whiteout conditions will create impossible travel over portions of the region. Areas in red will see the highest impacts from blowing snow, but visibility will be extremely poor in all areas while snow is falling.
