Travel should be restricted to emergencies only. If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle. Call 5 1 1 or visit 511mn.org for road conditions. Remember, if interstate highways are closed, state highways and county roads are also dangerous. Exit the highway and find shelter. Do not travel. It is illegal to drive beyond barricades and doing so may put your life at risk.
