Blizzard conditions could continue in Plains

MILWAUKEE — Residents in the nation’s heartland are digging out after a blustery storm even as meteorologists warn that blizzard conditions could continue across the northern Plains.

The National Weather Service has issued blizzard warnings for parts of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin.

The storm already has dumped significant snow across the region, including a record 14 inches in Oklahoma City and 11 inches in Duluth, Minn., on Thursday.

Slippery roads have been blamed for at least 21 deaths this week as the storm lumbered across the country from the Southwest.
