Snowy October... With More Falling Tonight

Another snowstorm in the works for tonight to tomorrow. Take a look at this map below, our Futurecast computer model's thoughts on this current storm. The things to take from this are A) the length of time we see snow in the area and B) the little blurb that shows up near the end of the system. Most of us will see about 1-3" of snowfall from this system, with light accumulations on and off through about noon tomorrow.

Things sure are looking winter-like outside. Look at this video we shot from our KDLT Skycam as snow started to show up in the area:

Hard to believe that this is early fall still - and not late fall or early winter. Our average first day of 1" or more of snow in Sioux Falls is November 17th. We got 1.4" of snow on Friday, October 9th. That makes it the earliest 1 inch or more of snow we've seen since October 1st, 1999. Over ten years!

Stay warm & safe, and have a good Sunday night!

so... in 1999 we were all chilling listening to "smile" by vitamin c when it started snowing.. and this year we're all listening to lady gaga. or at least we all SHOULD be listening to lady gaga. so if you're not. go. now. do it.
