A local resident clears snow off his driveway, Friday, Dec. 25, 2009, in Des Moines, Iowa. The National Weather Service says a holiday storm brought most of the snow to far western and northwest Iowa, where strong winds gusting up to 50 mph are creating blizzard conditions and huge drifts. Central Iowa received 2-5 inches of snow, with rain over eastern Iowa.
