A blizzard warning was issued for parts of northwest Kansas on March 19. This led to the closure of several major roadways. The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) announced that Interstate 70 was closed in both directions from Hays to Colorado. Travelers were advised to avoid unnecessary trips due to dangerous conditions. Early Wednesday morning, a trooper from the Kansas Highway Patrol posted video on X, showing snowy roads and low visibility on Interstate 70 in Goodland. Officials continue to monitor the situation and urge caution for anyone on the roads. Snowy weather is expected to affect travel in the area throughout the day.
