Significant travel problems developed due to blowing and drifting snow through the entire weekend of Friday, January 16th, through Sunday, January 18th. Surface low pressure to the east and high pressure to the west kept a strong pressure gradient in place across the state for much of the weekend. North to northwest winds of 15 to 30 mph with a few higher gusts were common Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Due to these winds and daytime temperatures near freezing, blowing and drifting snow developed resulting in low visibilities and snow sticking to roadways. Law enforcement, Department of Transportation officials, and media reported numerous accidents and rollovers on North Dakota highways due to the icy roadway conditions throughout the weekend.
