The D-O-T expects crews to continue to focus their efforts on southwest Iowa the rest of today (Friday) due to concerns about blowing snow.
Parts of Iowa received more than half foot of snow. That plus strong winds created blizzard conditions in the western half of the state late Thursday night into Friday morning.
