Freezing rain produced ice accumulations of up to two tenths of an inch in far southeast South Dakota, roughly near and southeast of a Yankton to Sioux Falls line. The icing occurred from a few hours after midnight through the daytime hours. There was widespread icing on roads and other surfaces. The impact of the icing was fairly limited for several reasons. Traffic was very limited because the day was a holiday, and because some businesses closings and activity cancellations were announced ahead of the storm in the southeast corner of the state. Winds remained light, preventing significant damage to trees and power lines. There were several vehicle accidents, but they were not numerous in any given area.
