An early season winter storm moved into the region late Wednesday, October 9, and brought widespread snow and gusty northerly winds. The highest snow totals fell in the northern Black Hills, with slightly lesser amounts on the plains. Northerly winds gusting near 50 mph created areas of blowing and drifting snow, especially on the South Dakota plains. Snowfall ended from west to east late Thursday and early Friday.
