Crookston and most of the Red River Valley have been getting rain that has turned to ice as it hits the ground, including roads and highways.
City of Crookston roads are literally a skating rink, and any speed will cause a car to spin out. Motorists on Highway 2 from Crookston to East Grand Forks have reported speeds of 20 to no more than 30 miles per hour because of the ice. If you don’t have to travel, stay home!!!
We have had several reports that East Grand Forks and Grand Forks don’t seem to have the ice like Crookston does.
If you have to travel somewhere, make sure you go slow and give yourself plenty of time as the rain continues to fall and continues to ice over area roadways.
Stay safe as this system continues to cover the Red River Valley with rain turning into ice.
