More than 10 inches fell in Minnesota, and blizzards in the Dakotas reduced visibility to zero. Interstate closures affected I-29 and I-90, airports delayed or canceled flights, and power outages affected tens of thousands.

The storm produced widespread damage from Illinois to Tennessee, with numerous injuries and property losses.
