Most no travel advisories have been lifted in WC MN but it will take some time for road conditions to improve. MNDOT crews are out doing a great job but please have some patience. I-94 Moorhead to Barnesville is slippery as indicated in the video I-94 mp7

“Shop With a Cop” looked a little different this year with no kids in person, but we got some lists & requests and got it done. It’s humbling to be part of such a nice event and the generous donations that come it. Thank you to all that make it possible.

These trailer safety chains held up and did their job after a hitch detached from the receiver after losing its hitch pin/lock. No injuries or other significant damage. I did witness the incident I-94 east of Moorhead. The driver did a fine job of maneuvering during the issue.
