A strong winter storm impacted much of western and south central South Dakota, especially the Black Hills area and southwestern South Dakota. Snow lifted slowly north into southern South Dakota during the morning and midday hours, with the most impactful snow near and south of interstate 90. Snow tapered off during the late night and morning hours. Snowfall amounts of six to 12 inches were common across these areas, with one to two feet over parts of the southern Black Hills and far southwestern South Dakota. The heavy, wet snow, combined with wind gusts over 40 mph, produced blizzard or near blizzard conditions across parts of southwestern South Dakota, along with power outages.
