Here’s a look at total snowfall through Friday for the significant blizzard that has been ramping up with heavy snow in northern SD. Projections continue to point towards a massive dose of snow for virtually all areas of SD into far southeastern ND (12-18″+). Areas from south-central to east-central SD can receive locally 30″ of snow. Also, at times the snow can fall at 1-3″/hr and in fact, there are reports of snow already approaching a foot! Blizzard conditions will really ramp up into the day Thursday where gusts of 30-50mph+ are anticipated. Please take this storm seriously and all necessary precautions should be done at this point in time. Power outages and roof collapses will be possible given the heavy weight of the wet snow. Liquid equivalent amounts of 1-3″ are expected across SD through Friday, which is bad news for those impacted by the recent flooding as when this snow melts it will exacerbate ongoing issues.
