Blizzard slamming the Upper Midwest

A blizzard is impacting the upper midwest from Iowa northwest through portions of Minnesota and the Dakotas. Here in Iowa, a 30-40 car pileup closed I-35 north of Hwy 30 due to the blizzard conditions. About a dozen other highways are also closed in Iowa due to accidents and drifting. 5.8" of snow has fallen so far at the Des Moines airport:

I experienced sustained white-out conditions near downtown Des Moines earlier this afternoon. One of the biggest events of the winter season here.

We tracked this highly photogenic tornado for around 8 miles. The tornado was headed straight for Aurora, NE which prompted a rare Tornado Emergency issued by the NWS. Fortunately it lifted just before it got to town.
