 DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Heavy, wet snow and blizzard conditions hit the Plains and Midwest on Thursday, shutting down hundreds of miles of interstate highways as snowplows were pulled off roads in white-out conditions.
Schools closed in several states, and hundreds of flights were canceled. Two people were killed when their car overturned on a slick road in North Dakota, and one person died after shoveling snow in Nebraska.
The storm moved into Iowa with rain and sleet but changed to snow around dawn.
