| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong storm system moved from northeast Colorado through the western Dakotas. The intensifying storm brought snow and gusty winds which caused blizzard conditions along eastern Montana. Snow accumulations of 3 inches in Sidney to up to 10 inches in Wibaux in combination with winds of 30 to 35 mph and gusts to over 50 mph were reported. Sections of Interstate 94 were closed stranding truckers and travelers in the Glendive area. Twenty six motorists who could not find hotel rooms stayed at the National Guard Amory in Glendive. Coming at the end of calving season, this storm hit area ranchers hard with reports of cattle losses. |
