I believe it also helped keep wind speeds up a little this afternoon. <BR/><BR/>Current wind chill -44C at the Hallock airport.

That could be a reason why the blizzard conditions redeveloped later this morning, after improving for awhile earlier this morning. Visibilities are greatly improving this evening as the daytime instability subsides.. <BR/><BR/>Interesting day.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-16761520074252490522008-02-09T15:24:00.000-06:002008-02-09T15:24:00.000-06:00Let's see if this works better...http://www.dot.nd...Let's see if this works better...<BR/><BR/>http://www.dot.nd.gov/roadreport<BR/>/roadreport/roadreport.aspBruce Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03473455812122973326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-6549599215090468712008-02-09T15:21:00.000-06:002008-02-09T15:21:00.000-06:00Some of the clouds are clouds of snow more than li...Some of the clouds are clouds of snow more than likely.

Looking at satellite it looks like there are billows of snow blowing across the South here, and it makes it seem overcast as they drift over.<BR/><BR/>I heard that on days like today pilots may experience a complete white out on the ground, but once they get to a couple hundred feet it is completely sunny. This makes perfect sense as it is called a "ground blizzard"! Highway #1 is closed from about Headingley to Brandon. A large section of highway 2 is also closed. Is interstate 29 closed?Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378918135776009197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-30138726572703755662008-02-09T14:28:00.000-06:002008-02-09T14:28:00.000-06:00We still have the blizzard warning down here.
