Plains Blizzard Closes Schools and Halts Amtrak Empire Builder
Violent Alberta Clipper winds gusting to 57 mph whip the northern Plains, closing schools and hindering travel. Snow drifts up to 3 feet block highways in western South Dakota and eastern Montana while Amtrak’s Empire Builder is halted and passengers are housed in hotels. Northwest South Dakota and central North Dakota see reduced visibility, with drivers urged to stay off interstates I 94 and I 29. Road closures and delays extend into Minnesota and Montana as authorities scramble to open routes and clear drifts.
