Officials say blowing snow and heavy snowfall rates are causing whiteout conditions.
The Aitkin County Sheriff's Office reports that many roads are wet and ice-covered. Though plows are laying salt, much of it it is washing off quickly.
"The conditions are making it difficult for roads to drain properly so standing water is occurring as well," officials wrote.
