FCST:12/13-12/15 BLIZZARD N.Central Plains

the front passed through my area about an hour and a half ago. Temps went from about 40 to 28, winds have picked up incredibly, all the water from the rain this morning has now turned to ice, along with a little bit of freezing rain. I gotta work in a few minutes but im going to bring my handheld anomeometer along and try to get some measurements of the wind later. This is from the NWS-Grand Forks:
THE WINDS WILL ALSO
PRODUCE LIFE THREATENING WIND CHILLS AS LOW AS 45 BELOW ZERO.

THE COMBINATION OF SNOWFALL...STRONG WINDS...AND LOW WIND CHILLS
IS MAKING THIS BLIZZARD VERY SERIOUS AND LIFE THREATENING.

INTERSTATE 29 IS CLOSED FROM BORDER TO BORDER IN NORTH DAKOTA...
AND INTERSTATE 94 IS CLOSED FROM JAMESTOWN TO FERGUS FALLS.
UNITED STATES ROUTE 10 FROM MOORHEAD TO DETROIT LAKES...AND
MINNESOTA STATE ROUTE 210 FROM FERGUS FALLS TO BRECKENRIDGE ARE
ALSO CLOSED. MOST OTHER ROADS ARE REPORTED TO BE IMPASSABLE.
