| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Snow accumulating 3 to 8 inches was accompanied by winds over 50 mph at times, producing widespread whiteout conditions. Numerous vehicles slid into ditches and many people were stranded in vehicles. There were some rollovers and other accidents, including a fatality near Tripp in Hutchinson County. Some power outages occurred due to downed or whipping power lines. Other damage was caused by the strong winds, including the roof blown off of a golf clubhouse at Parker in Turner County. Many roads, including interstate highways, were closed or blocked, and schools and businesses were closed or forced to delay opening on the 25th. Wind chills were as low as 40 below zero. |
