A hybrid type winter storm system moved out of the Pacific Northwest and into western South Dakota by late evening of the 25th. The surface low tracked from western South Dakota into east central South Dakota by the morning of the 26th, and then up toward Duluth by the early evening of the 26th. It did not seem to be a traditional winter storm system as afternoon highs on the 26th rose into the mid to upper 20s over portions of eastern North Dakota and the northwest quarter of Minnesota. As the system moved into Minnesota on the afternoon of the 26th, north wind speeds increased with gusts over 25 mph commonplace. Snowfall totals generally ranged from 4 to 8 inches across the area. Lidgerwood came in with the highest total of 9 inches.
