Final Snow Totals....

I know we have thrown a lot of numbers at you the last couple of days, but all of those have been unofficial totals. Well now all totals have been confirmed and are going down in the official records. Wow, what a storm. You really have to search to find areas that saw less then a foot of snow and in some cases, saw as much as two feet. This storm will go down as the 4th largest snow storm in South Dakota history since records began in the 1880's. Here are some maps showing just how much snow areas saw both in our area and in other areas this storm ravaged.

Even though that there is not a map of the snowfall from western South Dakota, they saw a tremendous amount of snow as well. Lead received over 4 feet of snow with most of the Black Hills area receiving more then 2 feet. The plains got blasted as well with generally 8-16 inches of snow.

As you can see, this was a far reaching storm and brought many areas over a foot of snow and will go down as the whitest Christmas on record for many areas.
