Midwest Snowstorm Leads to 25-Vehicle Crash

The snowstorm that is crawling slowly across the Midwest has led to a 25-vehicle pileup in Iowa that killed one person. Police say drivers were blinded by blowing snow and didn't see vehicles that had slowed or stopped on Interstate 80.

Drivers throughout the Plains and Midwest are hampered by heavy snow and strong winds that combined for blizzard conditions in areas from Kansas to Wisconsin.

The windy conditions have contributed to tens of thousands of power outages.

Forecasters say the snow cover will drag temperatures much lower in Nebraska and Iowa, with readings in the single digits.
