Heavy snow of 7 to 15 inches fell across much of central and northeast South Dakota from early on the 22nd to early on the 23rd. Some freezing rain also brought heavy icing in Buffalo, eastern Lyman, and far southern Roberts counties resulting in some downed trees and branches along with some downed power lines.  This late season snowstorm caused many travel problems along with some accidents. There were many vehicles in the ditch along Interstate-29 in Roberts county.  Many schools and events were either cancelled or delayed on the 22nd and 23rd.  The heavy snow also caused problems with ranchers and their livestock with some calves lost in the storm.   Around 9:30 am on the 23rd in Kennebec, the heavy snow caused the roof of the 40 by 64 foot feed and seed warehouse to collapse.  Late season record snowfalls were set at Aberdeen and Pierre.  Some snowfall amounts included, 7 inches at Timber Lake and Leola, 8 inches at Eagle Butte, Mobridge and Aberdeen, 9 inches at Kennebec and Pollock, 10 inches at Gettysburg, Selby, Redfield, and Webster, and 11 inches at Onida, Mission Ridge, Hosmer, and Columbia.
