| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A powerful winter storm brought widespread blizzard conditions to northwest (and parts of west central) South Dakota between February 24 and 28. Snow accumulations between 10 and 20 inches were common along the northern foothills surrounding the Black Hills and on the plains to the north and east. In the Black Hills, National Weather Service cooperative observes recorded the following snow accumulations between February 24 and 28: 63 inches at Galena, 48 inches at Lead. Unofficial observations included a 72 inch accumulation south of Lead, and a 90 inch accumulation at Icebox Canyon southwest of Lead. Widespread blowing and drifting snow halted air and land traffic throughout west central South Dakota as numerous highways and and the Rapid City Regional Airport were closed at various times between the 24 and 28. Snow drifts up to 12 feet were observed in the Black Hills, with drift heights up to 7 feet observed 40 miles to the east of the Black Hills on the plains. |
