Overview
|
December 9-10, 2021, a strong winter storm tracked across the central Rockies and through much of eastern Wyoming, northern Nebraska, and southern South Dakota. The storm brought heavy snow to much of the Black Hills, especially central and southern portions, as well as southwest and south central South Dakota. Snowfall amounts of 8 to 15 inches were reported over much of southwest to south central South Dakota, with localized amounts to near 20 inches over eastern parts of Fall River County. Across northeast Wyoming, amounts of 4 to 10 inches were reported over southern portions, with the highest amounts generally in the Newcastle area. Snowfall amounts tapered off significantly to the north of Interstate 90, with little or no snowfall over northwest South Dakota.
