A strong area of low pressure tracking across the central plains brought widespread snowfall to parts of central and much of northeast South Dakota. The precipitation initially began as freezing rain and sleet late in the evening of the 23rd as it lifted across the area through the morning of the 24th. The freezing rain and sleet then changed over to snow during the morning hours of the 24th. Thundersnow also occurred at some locations across the area. Snowfall amounts of 6 to 15 inches had occurred as the storm ended. With the initial slippery roads from the freezing rain and then the heavy snow, travel conditions became very difficult. The State Emergency Management, Highway Patrol, and Department of Transportation issued a travel advisory for no travel for Interstate-90 and many highways in central South Dakota. There were numerous accidents along the interstate. Some snowfall amounts included, 9 inches at Bryant and Webster, 10 inches at Toronto, Roy Lake, and Garden City, 11 inches at Faulkton, 12 inches at Watertown, and 15 inches at Clear Lake.
