| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An intense area of low pressure brought widespread heavy rain of 1.5 to 2.5 inches to Big Stone and Traverse counties from the morning to late in the evening of the 5th worsening the flood situation. As the low pressure intensified and a powerful cold front moved southeast, the rain changed to sleet and then snow with accumulations of 2 to 6 inches. North winds increased to 40 to 60 mph causing widespread blizzard conditions. Temperatures dropped into the teens and 20s and wind chills fell to 15 to 30 below. Roads were either flooded or blocked by snowdrifts making travel almost impossible. Livestock losses were substantial as result of the blizzard. Some snowfall amounts included, 2 inches at Artichoke Lake, 6 inches at Wheaton and Browns Valley. The total damage estimate for this blizzard was 4 million. |
