Some of the more significant two-day snowfall amounts include 6 inches at Sisseton and Aberdeen, 7 inches at Sand Lake NWR, 8 inches near Veblen, 9 inches at Britton, and 10 inches near Victor.

An area of low pressure moved out of the Rockies and into the Northern Plains, producing snow and widespread blizzard conditions across central and north-central South Dakota. Winds gusting to over 60 mph and several inches of snow caused hazardous travel conditions. Interstate 90 was closed across much of Jones and part of Lyman County. Power was also briefly out in parts of Pierre and Mobridge.
