FARGO (KFGO) – The area’s first snow event of the season is causing slippery conditions and reduced visibility across North Dakota and Minnesota where multiple semis have jackknifed or tipped.
In the Red River Valley, the Interstates and highways are snow and ice-covered lanes. Interstate 94 is snow and ice covered from the Minnesota border to western North Dakota.
