Widespread heavy snow was preceded by freezing rain. Precipitation from the Chamberlain to Huron areas and east to Brookings was mainly snow, with accumulations ranging from 8 inches in several areas to 19 inches at Huron. The heavy snow  on top of the ice made travel difficult, and in places impossible, as some roads were blocked. Cattle losses were suspected from the heavy wet snow occurring during calving season, but in most cases specific numbers were not available. Over the Southeast part of the affected area, including near and just south of Sioux Falls, damage to power lines due to icing was reported, with several power outages in Sioux Falls. Three to six inches of snow fell on top of the ice in this area.
