| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A winter storm began with widespread freezing drizzle creating icy roadways and walkways before changing over to snow. Before the snow was over, 2 to 8 inches had fallen on an already expansive and deep snowpack. The winds came up to 20 to 40 mph resulting in widespread blowing and drifting snow. Visibilities were reduced to near zero at times making travel treacherous. Many roads again became blocked by snowdrifts and several were closed. Many area schools were again canceled making for some up to 18 days missed for the winter season. Some people were stranded to wait out the storm. Some airport flights were canceled. The icy roads and low visibilities resulted in several vehicle mishaps. There was a rollover accident west of Mobridge in the early afternoon of the 13th with minor injuries. A van overturned 7 miles west of Webster. Also, on Interstate-29 there were several rollover accidents including vehicles sliding off of the road. Some snowfall amounts included, 4 inches at Timber Lake, Mobridge, Eureka, Leola, Britton, and Clark, 5 inches at Leola, 6 inches at Waubay and Summit, and 8 inches at Pollock. |
