Lots of Snow on the Way

It looks like we are in for a pretty big storm for Christmas. Luckily we are staying at Borderlands. Now I just need to make sure everyone can be tucked into a nice dry stall or runin.

From Kelo:

Sioux Falls Could See 12-18 Inches Of Snow


Winter storm warnings are now in effect for many areas, including Sioux Falls. If you are not in a warning, your area is most likely under a winter storm watch. This storm has the potential to produce 12-18” of snow in the Sioux Falls area, the strongest storm in years. [See snowfall forecast map]Areas of flurries and freezing drizzle possible. Roads are slick in many areas due to yesterday’s snow and light freezing rain. Dense fog is also a problem in south central and southwest South Dakota. Highs will be in the 20s.

Tuesday Night

Mostly cloudy skies, light snow developing with lows in the mid teens to lower 20s.

Wednesday

More areas of snow will develop. Heavy snow will wait until Wednesday night and Thursday. Snowfall of 1-3” will be possible by Wednesday evening as the wind increases from the northeast at 15-30mph.

Christmas Eve

Heavy snow is likely in most areas. The heaviest is expected in southeastern KELOLAND. Ice and sleet will also be possible in northwest Iowa, with significant ice possible from Sioux City to Spencer, Iowa, through early Thursday morning. Winds will increase into the evening.

Christmas Day

More snow and very strong winds are likely. Blizzard or near blizzard conditions will be likely in southeast South Dakota and parts of northwest Iowa and southwest Minnesota. Blowing snow will be likely all the way to the Black Hills. Travel will become nearly impossible in some areas affected by the blizzard. Sioux Falls will see 12-18" or more of snow.
