The National Weather Service is reporting difficult roads throughout the region. Blowing and drifting snow is causing poor visibility on many eastern Idaho roadways. There are also slick patches of ice and snow.
Drivers are urged to use caution when driving.
As of 9 a.m. the following highways are closed:
- Interstate 84 between the I-86 junction and the Utah border
