Storm Update... And Some Cool Viewer Pics

We're seeing some rain showers - and possibly a clap of thunder or two - as we wait for snow to move in to the Sioux Falls area and the rest of SE South Dakota and into NW Iowa and SW Minnesota.

This is the latest radar image as of 10:08pm:

If you've heard any claps of thunder don't hesitate to email us at weather@kdlt.com and we'll mention it - or you can just write a comment on the bottom of this post.

Here are those viewer pictures though - they seem to have been from right before the blizzard conditions.

This is some ice that has piled up by Lake Poinsett sent in from a viewer. Apparently the ice has piled up on the west side of the lake so much that it's about 20 feet tall! This viewer's grandson climbed to the top of the pile.

Another couple of pictures from from Pierre where Zach sent us pictures of sleet. He also says they picked up 6" as of the publishing of this post so far.

You can see the sleet piling up out there - and with cold temperatures and 6" of snow (not to mention 30mph sustained winds as of this 10pm show) I'm sure conditions are pretty bad - so keep that in mind if you're doing any traveling.

Send in any pictures you might have to weather@kdlt.com & we'll put yours up to!
