BISMARCK, N.D. — A fast-moving blizzard clogged roads and closed schools in North Dakota on Monday, causing more headaches for residents still trying to dig out from a record snowfall last month.

And forecasters said a blast of cold air was on the way that could send the thermometer as low as 30 below zero.

Travel was discouraged in the central and western parts of North Dakota because drifting snow, whipped up by high winds, made the visibility almost zero. While the travel advisory was lifted by midday, new advisories were posted in the southeastern part of the state.

The Minot area got 6 inches of snow, on top of about a foot late last week, while Bismarck picked up another 4 inches.

Bismarck, Fargo and Grand Forks all broke snow records for December, each with more than 30 inches.

The Nebraska State Patrol closed all major highways in northeast Nebraska. Strong winds were creating whiteout conditions in the area.

The National Weather Service reported between 2 and 4 inches of snow in central and western Iowa, bringing totals since the weekend to nearly a foot in some places.

The storm was already affecting Des Moines International Airport, where United Airlines and American Airlines had canceled a number of flights Monday night between Des Moines and Chicago and Denver.

If the snow and wind weren't enough, Iowans will later endure biting cold. Temperatures by early today were forecast to hover about 12 below zero in northern Iowa, with wind chills of 30 below.

Another system — with even colder temperatures — is expected Wednesday.

In Wisconsin, the overnight low could fall to 23 below zero, while later in the week, northeastern North Dakota residents could see the thermometer drop to around 40 below.

In Colorado, snowy and icy conditions led to one fatal accident in the northeastern corner of the state early Monday and a sloppy and slow commute across the Denver metro area.

Snowfall amounts ranged from 5 to 8 inches in Denver's western suburbs and Boulder.
