Blizzard Recap

Cody mentioned the snow totals in his blog post - and it still seems like most of the new snow toward Tuesday/Tuesday afternoon will be in eastern South Dakota, with the highest accumulations in our viewing area coming in northwest Iowa at up to 2-4 inches, with a sharp drop-off right to the west of Sioux Falls.

We saw some crazy weather over the weekend, though. We'll cover it all, but here is a basic summary using Sioux Falls as an example:

We started off Sunday by reaching our highest temperature of the day at 12:11am, so basically Saturday night. The high was 33 degrees.

We ended the day with our low occurring as late as possible - 11:59pm and with a low of -6 degrees.

We didn't get much snow in Sioux Falls, but around the rest of the area we snow some pretty large totals:

ROSCOE.............12.0 INCHES
SISSETON 10 ENE....10.0 INCHES
WHEATON MN..........9.4 INCHES
