Location: A Blue State Rep Power: 11 ![]() ![]() | BISMARCK, N.D. - Broad areas of the Dakotas remained shut down Tuesday by the Plains' first blizzard of the season, with highways closed by blowing, drifting snow and thousands of people without electricity as temperatures hit the low teens. Five deaths had been blamed on slippery roads in Minnesota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas. A sixth person was killed by a tornado spun off by the huge storm system in Arkansas. Travelers trying to get home after Thanksgiving had been stranded in hotels, truck stops and churches across the Plains. The storm was heading toward the Great Lakes on Tuesday after dumping snow as far south as the Texas Panhandle. As much as 20 inches of snow fell at Kennebec, S.D., while Chamberlain, S.D., was choked by drifts up to 8 feet high. The snow, ice up to 5 inches thick and wind gusting to 70 mph had snapped power lines | ||||||||

The 20 inches was in the Western part of the state. In Sioux Falls we had about 4-5 inches of snow and the WIND! It was blowing snow around all night. The 4-5 inches became 3-4 feet of snow drifts. And COLD. It's moving east and all I have to say is look out PG, PP, Jack and anyone in Ill, IN. Your going to get NAILED! | |||||||||
