Difficult driving conditions in northwest Minnesota
BEMIDJI, Minn. –The Minnesota Department of Transportation advises extreme caution when traveling in the northwest area of the state, due to icy roads caused by wet snow compaction and wind.

- Drive slowly on bridges, overpasses and tunnels.
- Use a safe speed for winter driving conditions, regardless of the posted speed limit.
- Keep a safe stopping distance from the vehicle in front of you.
- Keep both hands on the steering wheel, eyes on the road and attention on your driving.
