| episode_narrative | Two to ten inches of snow, high winds from 40 to 60 mph, and cold arctic air resulted in blizzard conditions and extreme wind chills from 40 below to 70 below for central and northcentral South Dakota from the middle morning of the 17th to the early morning of the 18th. Most schools, federal, state, and county offices were closed. Also, various activities were canceled. Travel was extremely difficult due to the near zero visibility with some vehicles stranded. Some pheasants and wildlife were lost due to the snow packed so hard they could not dig out. Some snowfall amounts included, 2 inches at Highmore, 3 inches at Pierre and 9NE Reliance, 5 inches at Mobridge, Presho, Roscoe, 10SE Stephan, and Ree Heights, 7 inches 12W Tulare and 5E 3S Faulkton, 8 inches 11E 2S Hosmer, and 10 inches at Eureka. The extreme wind chills along with some blowing snow continued across central and northcentral South Dakota into the early evening of the 18th. |
