Late Winter Snow Paralyzes Midwest Storms and Losses
A midwest snowstorm blanketed the region with 6 to 24 inches, stranding motorists and halting activity from South Dakota to Michigan.

Gusty winds created deep drifts and plummeting temperatures across eastern South Dakota, southern Minnesota, northern Iowa, and central Wisconsin. In Sioux Falls the weather brought nearly all activity to a halt as 14 inches fell in the Black Hills Lead Deadwood area saw the storm ease by nightfall.
