Mary Jo Draper from member station KCUR in Kansas City, Missouri, reports on a severe winter storm that tore across the Plains and parts of the Southwest yesterday and today. Several states including Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma were frozen by sleet, snow and wind. In parts of Minnesota and North Dakota, high-winds have blown the snow into huge drifts, shutting down highways and in some places keeping snow plows off the roads.
