A cold front swept through the area during the early morning of the 16th, as surface low pressure tracked across southern Canada into the Minnesota arrowhead. Behind the cold front, temperatures dropped quickly and northwest winds increased. Many locations across the area saw wind gusts in the 45 to 60 mph range. U. S. Highway 2 was closed from East Grand Forks to Crookston due to whiteout conditions. Quite a few schools and events were also closed during the storm. Conditions were the worst in open country when snow was falling.
