| 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, 4 to 6 inches of snow had fallen across Big Stone and Traverse counties on top of an already deep and expansive snowpack. The winds came up to 20 to 40 mph resulting in widespread blowing and drifting snow. Many roads again became blocked by snowdrifts and several were closed. Many schools were again closed accumulating to the large number of days already missed for the winter season. The icy roads and low visibilities resulted in some vehicle mishaps. Some snowfall amounts included, 4 inches at Artichoke Lake, 5 inches at Browns Valley, and 6 inches at Wheaton. |
