Travel has become difficult across the region due to strong winds and blowing snow, which then melts and refreezes on roadways.

We are still watching the potential for a strong winter storm affecting the Northern Plains on Christmas. The graphic basically tells the story. While the models continue to show a rather strong storm system with heavy precipitation, exact details in the storm track and precipitation amounts are uncertain.
