| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An arctic front plunged south across the area, bringing less than an inch of snow to eastern North Dakota. However, strong winds created blizzard conditions across the area. Fargo reported a peak wind of 49 knots and Devils Lake had a gust to 44 knots. These gusty winds produced wind chills from 50 to 70 below zero. Some schools closed on the 15th and 16th. Interstates 29 and 94 were again shut down in North Dakota, as well as US Highway 2 from Grand Forks to Lakota. At the governor's request, the National Guard and US Air Force loaned troops and snow removal equipment to help clear roads. A heavy buildup of snow over the course of the winter led to the collapse of the large North Dakota Winter Show building in Valley City on January 20th. |
