Winter

As of 6:45 a.m., a NO TRAVEL ADVISORY is still in effect for a majority of the state including Bismarck and surrounding areas.

Heavy snowfall and windy conditions has forced the closure of I94 and State Highway 83.

After the snow finally started to fall in the area and accumulations are forming, the travel alerts and advisories are now being issued.

By now, you should completed your preparations or at least wrapping up your preparations for the Christmas day blizzard.

The Christmas blizzard is becoming a reality and now the forecasters have a better grasp for conditions and tracking of this major weather event.

With many people planning to travel for the long Christmas weekend, it's important to stay weather ready and weather aware. The Severe Weather Action Team (SWAT) will help you stay on top of this changing weather situation. Here is what we know so far.

Here we go again, with the threat of another snow storm for the weekend, and with the final days of Christmas shopping, the strong wind are causing a problem for drivers.

According to the calendar, winter has officially started, and it seems though Bismarck and North Dakota are getting our fair share of the brutal cold. This year seems especially harsh in comparison to the last two years in Bismarck, and with the possibility of another snow storm for the Christmas Holidays, we thought it would be a good time to go over cold weather tips for our pets.

The National Weather Service in Bismarck has extended the Blizzard Warning for the area until 8 p.m. tonight.

Many people have another snow day as the Bismarck-Mandan area continues to have blizzard conditions so we decided to ask YOU to send us photos!
