Significant low elevation rain and higher elevation snow is expected across central California and the Pacific Northwest into the Rockies through the weekend. A wintry mix and some ice accumulation will impact portions of the Central Plains through the Upper Midwest through Saturday. Widespread rain is forecast across the Southern Plains into the Mid-Mississippi and Ohio valleys this weekend. Read More >
Overview
An intense surface low pressure area moved from northeast Colorado to South Dakota from the 24th through the 26th. This storm was unusually warm for the region for late December and produced record breaking heavy rain along with flooding in some cases. Significant icing of locally over an inch occurred across areas at or just below the freezing point, which resulted in widespread tree and power pole and line damage to those areas. This was one of the worst ice storms to affect South Dakota since November of 2005. The ponding of the heavy rain froze overnight once much colder air moved in. Roads and walkways became treacherous ice rinks and remained as such for many days. There were numerous injuries from slips on the ice, as well as several vehicular accidents and flight cancellations. Some downed branches and trees fell onto homes across the region. This storm also brought high winds of 60 to 70 plus mph, along with snow and blizzard conditions to the region. This significant storm resulted in massive power outages with over 12,000 people without power (for some for more than 10 days despite tireless efforts), stranded motorists and closed roads. Water and sewer systems shut down for several days for some communities and emergency shelters were necessary. Deuel, Day, Marshall, Roberts and Grant counties were the hardest hit. Due to widespread significant impacts, the Governor of South Dakota declared a State of Emergency on the 26th which helped facilitate the movement of out-of-state crews to aid with power restoration. There was also a Presidential Disaster Declaration for damage to public property. The total estimated damage was near 8 million dollars for central and northeast South Dakota. |
Blizzard & Wind:
Strong winds in excess of 60 mph impacted South Dakota on the 25th and 26th. Across central and western South Dakota, these winds were associated with falling snow which resulted in a blizzard. It began during the afternoon on the 25th and subsided for a time in the evening before picking up once again during the overnight into the 26th. Very strong northwest winds then moved east and impacted northeast South Dakota during the morning and afternoon hours on the 26th, and just enough snow mixed in from the departing system to result in a blizzard with greatly reduced visibility. These high winds struck already vulnerable/damaged trees and power lines due to heavy icing from freezing rain that occurred earlier on the 25th.

Snow & Ice
Snowfall totals were highest across northwest South Dakota (6-12") and North Dakota (over 18" in some cases) with this system from the morning through the evening on Christmas Day. The COOP observation at McIntosh found 9" of snow in a 24 hour period, and 13" of snow totaled in Keldron (northwestern Corson County). In all cases, high winds mixed in to create an impactful blizzard. Mobridge set a daily record of 4.8" of snow on the 25th (2.0" in 1988).
Ice accumulations were significant across central, northern, and northeastern South Dakota. Ice accumulations of over 1" occurred as heavy rain froze on contact in areas of near or sub-freezing surface temperatures. Strong winds during this event increased the amount of damage. Those who did not see freezing rain accumulations on trees and other objects had to deal with ice as well, once ponding from hours of heavy rain froze overnight due to sub-freezing temperatures. Roads became ice rinks and remained as such for several days. It's possible that a reverse downslope wind event due to strong east winds blowing across the Sisseton Hills kept the air just warm enough to prevent major ice accumulations across the James River Valley.

Impacts
Severe impacts resulted from this significant winter storm system across South Dakota. The combination of heavy snow/ice accumulations and severe winds snapped or otherwise damaged hundreds of power poles, which deprived power to thousands of people... over 17,000 (these numbers are preliminary). Power began to shut down as early as Sunday afternoon. As of the evening of the 29th, 4 days after the storm, over 6,000 customers were still reportedly without power by the South Dakota Rural Electric Association. Roberts and Grant counties accounted for most of the outages at this time. Additionally, I-90 was closed from Chamberlain to the Wyoming/South Dakota state line. Due to widespread significant impacts, the Governor of South Dakota declared a state of emergency on the 26th which helped facilitate the movement of out-of-state crews to aid with power restoration. Sadly, this storm proved fatal as well - a Walworth County man succumbed to the elements on Christmas Day. Other indirect fatalities were reported as well.
Here at the Weather Service in Aberdeen, data collection was impacted by the storm. The upper air shelter which houses weather balloons was frozen shut and was inaccessible for the morning launch on the 26th, our Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) in Mobridge went down, and several webcams and weather stations lost power.
Map below as of 8:55 pm on Monday, December 26th. *NOTE: This is not a comprehensive power outage map and only reflects customers from the SDREA. Therefore, there were more than the listed 15,979 without power across South Dakota, such as across Sully, Potter, and Hughes counties.
Map below as of 7:30 pm on Thursday, December 29th. *NOTE: This is not a comprehensive power outage map and only reflects customers from the SDREA. Therefore, there were more than the listed 6,187 without power across South Dakota, such as across Sully, Potter, and Hughes counties.
Rain & Liquid Equivalent
Precipitation amounts were very impressive for late December, as the system had possibly record levels of atmospheric moisture to work with. Rain or freezing rain was the predominant precipitation type for those roughly east of the Missouri River on the 25th. Daily precipitation records were smashed on the 25th for Mobridge with 1.52" (0.23" in 2009), Pierre with 0.92" (0.48" in 2009), Aberdeen with 1.28" (0.36" in 1950), and Sisseton with 0.7" (0.24" in 1942). Incredibly, Aberdeen and Mobridge also broke records for the wettest December day on record (1.00" on 12-26 in 1916 in Aberdeen, 0.87" on 12-30 in 1931 in Mobridge). Pierre recorded their 2nd wettest December day on record, Kennebec 7th with 0.57" and Timber Lake 8th with 0.73" (also daily records). Finally, Mobridge also broke their record for the wettest winter day (Dec-Feb) on record (1.50" on 2-24 in 1930). Aberdeen had their 3rd wettest winter day on record, and Pierre their 7th. A truly remarkable amount of moisture for a winter storm system.
As a result, in Aberdeen, this heavy rainfall combined with melting snow and ice to produce flooding across several streets. Thunderstorms were also widely reported across the area on the 25th... another incredible aspect to this storm system. For some it was thundersnow, for others lightning was observed while heavy rain fell. Our COOP observer from Pollock reported thundersnow around 9 pm, when at least 4 flashes occurred. A couple strikes appeared to strike the ground.
