Prolonged Winter Storm Brings Ice, Snow, and Wind - December 12-16, 2022

Overview

A prolonged winter storm impacted the broader region December 12-16, 2022. This system not only produced rain, freezing rain, snow, and gusty winds - but also resulted in a significant number of travel impacts across the region.

This system started off by producing a combination of freezing drizzle/rain on the evening of December 12, with the greatest ice impacts noted east of I-29, and especially across SW Minnesota. A switch to rain then occurred on December 13 as temperatures warmed, which resulted in a few daily rainfall records being broken across our area. After seeing somewhat of a lull in precipitation for most of the day December 14, we saw snow develop later that afternoon/evening as temperatures cooled. Snow then continued through December 15, and finally began to taper off by December 16. Winds during this time also became notably gusty, resulting in widespread reduced visibilities across the region. In regard to snowfall totals, the highest amounts generally fell along and west of the James River - across central SD, with higher amounts also report north of Hwy-14.

Snowfall Totals: Valid from 6 AM December 12 - 6 AM December 16

Wind:

While gusty winds were observed at the start of this system, the strongest winds actually occurred on the backside of this event and coincided with falling snow, which resulted in hazardous travel for many across the region. The strongest gusts were noted at both the Huron and Sioux Falls Airport, with gusts in the 40s to upper 30s common elsewhere.

Peak Winds (MPH) observed across the region between December 14 - December 16.

Rain

Daily rainfall records were broken at all of our climate sites on December 13, 2022.
