The State Patrol says troopers responded to 120 crashes, 10 with injury, 116 spin outs and 19 jack-knifed semis statewide between 9:30 p.m. Tuesday and 7:30 a.m. Wednesday. The icy conditions have caused the closure of I-94 in western Wisconsin

In the Twin Cities, Metro Transit pulled its buses off the roads due to icy conditions. Some of the lines began resuming service around 8 a.m. 

School districts to the east and west of Rochester delayed or called off class Wednesday. For a complete list of closings and delays and real time road conditions visit the KROC News App.
