Snow driven by wind up to 69 mph fell from North Dakota to the Texas Panhandle, shutting down schools, post offices and South Dakota state government.
Five deaths were blamed on slippery roads in Minnesota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas.
Wind, snow and ice in the Dakotas snapped electrical lines - coating some cables with ice a few inches thick - and knocked out power to much of the eastern parts of the states. Electricity wasn't expected to be restored for some areas until at least Tuesday, South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds said.
