A blizzard caused multiple road closures and disrupted travel in eastern North Dakota on Wednesday, April 5, according to the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT).

The blizzard dumped several inches of snow in the state overnight, the National Weather Service said. The NDDOT issued a no-travel advisory for the eastern part of the state and had closed parts of two of its major interstates.
