Blizzard blowing through Plains; parts of I-90 closed - USATODAY.com
A wintry blast of ice, snow and heavy wind blasted the upper Plains states, knocking out power and forcing highways to close.

In western South Dakota, blizzard conditions prompted the closure of a section of Interstate 90, and no-travel advisories were in effect in several counties.

A 180-mile stretch of Interstate 90 — the main east-west route across South Dakota — was closed from Murdo to Spearfish. The South Dakota Department of Public Safety was warning motorists not to travel on any roads in seven counties: Lawrence, Butte, Meade, Jackson, Jones, Custer and Pennington, which includes Rapid City, the state's second-largest city.
