Updated at 2:51 p.m. ET: A potent winter storm pounded the Upper Midwest and Northern Plains on Sunday with heavy snow and strong winds, making traveling treacherous and prompting airlines to cancel scores of flights. The heaviest snowfall was expected from eastern South Dakota through southern Minnesota. Forecasters said up to 16 inches was possible in the hardest-hit areas, including up to a foot in and around Minneapolis. The snow, coupled with winds gusting as high as 40 mph, could produce whiteout conditions “making travel nearly impossible,” the National Weather Service said in a statement. Minnesota State Police said more than 300 car crashes were reported from 9:30 p.m. Saturday to noon Sunday, none of them fatal. NBC's meteorologist Dylan Dreyer reports.
