| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Winds gusting to 45 mph combined with 2 to 4 inches of new snow and existing loose snow cover to cause widespread blizzard conditions in blowing snow. Visibility was frequently reduced to near zero, roads were blocked, and businesses were closed. There was damage to trees and power lines, mainly north of Sioux Falls and east of Huron where freezing rain preceded the blizzard. Scattered power outages occurred, mainly in rural areas. Near Lake Preston a train was derailed and stranded. Livestock loss was suspected. The amount of most of the damage could not be determined as much of the economic impact was long term and could neither be accurately estimated nor separated well from other events during the winter. |
