Overview
- I‑75 in Detroit reopened after roughly four hours following about 25 separate crashes involving 59 vehicles during a snow squall, with no injuries reported, according to Michigan State Police.
- No‑travel advisories persisted across much of southern Minnesota as winds over 40 mph kept visibility low and roadways drifted over, even as crews reopened sections of I‑35 between Albert Lea and the Iowa line.
- Gov. Tim Walz declared a peacetime emergency as the Minnesota National Guard assisted Freeborn County, where an armory in Albert Lea sheltered at least 30 stranded people and some pets.
- The Minnesota State Patrol logged hundreds of crashes and spinouts statewide since Sunday, while Iowa reported 31 crashes and one death and temporarily shut stretches of I‑35 due to whiteouts.
- Travel disruptions extended beyond highways, with more than 375 flight delays or cancellations at Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport on Sunday and additional cancellations Monday, and a separate semi crash off an I‑196 overpass kept northbound lanes closed for inspection.
