OMAHA, Neb. – Wind-blown snow whipped across the northern Plains on Tuesday, closing major highways, before a powerful storm that had stalled over western Nebraska and South Dakota moved northeastward.

In Montana, the Army National Guard dispatched two helicopters to help locate motorists stranded by a snowstorm in the southeastern part of the state.

"We do know we have some motorists out there, but we don't know where. So we have a serious situation," said Charity Watt Levis, a spokeswoman for the Montana Department of Transportation.

Crews rescued stranded motorists, including a family of three, that had been trapped on a highway in northeast Wyoming.

Up to 30 inches of snow had piled up in South Dakota's rugged Black Hills, and the storm system also had generated tornadoes.
