No Travel Advised in Eight Southwest Minnesota Counties

WILLMAR, Minn. – (7:30 a.m.) The Minnesota Department of Transportation advises no travel on state highways in all or portions of the following southwest Minnesota counties: Chippewa, Lincoln, Lyon, Murray, Redwood, Renville, Pipestone, and Yellow Medicine. Heavy snowfall and strong winds are creating limited visibility.

Motorists are advised not to travel in these areas until conditions improve.

No Travel Advised means that the roadway has deteriorated and/or visibility has been reduced to the point that it is very dangerous to travel; there are reports of intermittent white-out conditions; and some weather conditions can be severe enough that road treatments are not effective, and conditions can become life-threatening for stranded travelers.
