The North Dakota transportation department was recommending "no travel" on roads across the northwestern part of the state where there is a blizzard, stretching along the northern edge of the state across to roads north of Grand Forks.
Up to 15 inches of snow was expected in northwestern North Dakota and 9 inches in the Grand Forks area, on the eastern border with Minnesota. But the state took the latest storm in stride.
"It's a normal late winter storm for us," said Adam Jones, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Bismarck.
The Minneapolis and St. Paul metropolitan area was dusted by an inch or two of snow on Monday from a separate storm system, and up to 10 inches was expected from the main winter storm, mostly overnight into Tuesday morning, the weather service said.
The storm was expected to dump heavy snow along the Minnesota and Wisconsin border, with up to a foot in the far southeastern corner of Minnesota, before heading across southern Wisconsin and into Illinois.
