MARSHALL Â The blizzard that swept through southwest Minnesota this week may not have brought deep snowfall with it, but it still created dangerous travel conditions around the region.
Compacted ice on the roads and patches of blowing snow led to accidents, cars in the ditch and no-travel advisories through most of the day Friday.
Much of southwest Minnesota was under a blizzard warning Friday. Anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of snow was expected to fall on Friday, but winds gusting up to 60 miles per hour made for patches of poor visibility and drifting snow, the National Weather Service office in Sioux Falls said. Additionally, the Minnesota Department of Transportation was reporting icy road surfaces underneath the snow.
