SELBY, SD - State officials are warning of dangerous driving conditions along I-90 and in central South Dakota.  Blowing snow created drifts and led to zero visibility in some areas Monday. Those out braving the roads, especially drivers in central South Dakota, faced other threats too.

"Pure ice in spots, white-outs, snow drifts,” Tahnee Magnus said. “Not good."

That's what Magnus and her husband battled as they headed north from Pierre on Highway 83. State plows were out tackling the drifts. But with all the blowing snow, they couldn't treat the roads to melt the ice.

"They're slick. Yeah, just got pulled out of the ditch," Ron Mook said.

Mook took the same road. He's one of many who took a break at the gas station in Selby after surviving at least part of the trek. Workers there heard similar stories from travelers coming from all directions.

"Yeah we got a mixture of everything; we got to experience it all," Robert Schuh said.

Schuh drove over from Isabel. The major highways were bad enough but he had to take a gravel road too.

"We came out with four-wheel-drive and even then we were spinning at times," Schuh said.

And that was in the middle of the triple threat of conditions, which some say they wouldn't have braved had they known how bad it was.

"No, we would have stayed," Magnus said.

"Just go slow, take it easy and be careful," Mook said.
