Freezing rain was followed by snow and blowing snow. Heavy snow fell over much of the area. New snow accumulations were 8 inches or more from Brookings west to Huron...and southwest to Mitchell, Chamberlain, Burke, and Pickstown. The greatest reported accumulation was 15 inches at Burke. Along and southeast of a Sioux Falls to Yankton line, new snow accumulations were in the 2 to 6 inch range, but significant icing occurred in this area. There were scattered reports of tree and power line damage, and of minor structural damage due to the weight of the snow, but no damage estimates were available. Winds gusting to 40 to 50 mph during and after the snowfall caused near blizzard conditions and considerable drifting, blocking roads and stranding numerous vehicles. Travel was impossible in many areas and many businesses, colleges, and technical schools were closed. Interstate highway 90 and parts of Interstate highway 29 were closed for more than 18 hours due to the drifting snow and poor visibilities. County and State snowplows were pulled off the roads until conditions improved.
