| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A surge of arctic air with 40 to 60 mph winds created deadly wind chill indices to 80 below. Snowfall amounts were light over the plains, but winds lifted snow already on the ground resulting in zero visibility. Most roads, including Interstate 90, were closed along and north of a line from Belle Fourche to Wall to Winner. Heavy snow occurred in the northern Black Hills with a maximum of 12 inches near Lead. Numerous automobile accidents and scattered power outages were reported. |
