A Powerful winter storm brought widespread snow to most of Western South Dakota. Heavy snow fell over the Northern Black Hills with 19.2 inches of snow reported in Lead, South Dakota, while much of the remainder of the Black Hills received 6 to 8 inches of snow. On the Western South Dakota plains snowfall amounts were general 3 to 4 inches, however, near blizzard conditions persisted during the evening hours of February 8 and the morning hours of Feb 9. Wind gusts over 50 mph were common, producing significant blowing and drifting snow, and reducing visibilities to just yards.
