<p>Meanwhile, another state, Wisconsin, added state offices and agencies to its long list of closures.</p>
<p>Minnesota transport officials said some snowploughs were experiencing mechanical problems because of subzero temperatures, so officials decided to idle all of them overnight.</p>

<p>Operations resumed early on Wednesday, after overnight temperatures in the area dropped to -29F (-34C).</p>
