| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | New snowfall varying from 3 to 8 inches, previous snow cover, and northwest winds gusting to around 40 mph combined to produce widespread blowing and drifting snow over all of northwest Iowa. Low visibilities of a quarter mile or less were observed to be widespread in Dickinson County. Elsewhere in northwest Iowa, near blizzard conditions were observed, with local visibilities a quarter mile or less. Travel was brought to a standstill during the worst conditions. Even where visibilities were higher, travel was extremely difficult and dangerous because of the snowfall, drifting snow, and dangerous wind chills that accompanied the storm. The storm forced the closing of schools and businesses, and postponement of athletic events and other activities. The snow and blowing snow took place on January 6th and 7th, while dangerous wind chills continued well into January 8th.||New snowfall varying from 2 to 8 inches, previous snow cover, and northwest winds gusting to over 40 mph combined to produce widespread blowing and drifting snow over all of southeast South Dakota.
