GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) - Record snowfall in parts of North Dakota is making travel difficult in the region.
As much as 10 inches of new snow fell in the Red River Valley with Fargo setting a Jan. 2 record of 9.2 inches.
Students in some North Dakota school districts have an extended winter break Tuesday because of the dangerous travel conditions. Dozens of other school districts delayed the start of classes. Grand Forks County offices, including the courthouse, as well as city offices in Grand Forks are closed Tuesday.
A winter storm warning remains in effect for northcentral and northeastern Minnesota until 6 p.m. Tuesday. Forecasters say snow in eastern North Dakota will diminish later Tuesday.
The National Weather Service says wind chill readings in South Dakota will drop to 30 below through Wednesday morning.
