Accumulating snow to worsen road conditions in southern part of North Dakota
BISMARCK, ND (KXNET) — As the snow continues accumulating in the Bismarck/Mandan area and surrounding communities, the roads will become snow-covered and slippery.
Accumulations of 7-8 inches are expected in Bismarck, and more snow is expected further south, with as much as 9-12 inches projected to accumulate in Ashley.
The U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) is advising people to drive carefully, as blowing snow can reduce visibility and slippery roads can make it difficult to maneuver a car.
The NWS is also advising people to leave extra time for travel, have an emergency kit in their car, and tell others about their travel plans.
Conditions are expected to improve from west to east on Saturday.
