Overview
A strong winter storm impacted the region between Saturday, March 23rd and Monday, March 25th. This storm brought several rounds of wintry precipitation, with the majority of precipitation falling over the weekend. Snowfall diminished from west to east Sunday night (3/24) and into the day Monday (3/25). Some areas received minor amounts of freezing drizzle and freezing rain before the precipitation changed over to all snow. The highest snow totals were mainly from the northern slopes of the Black Hills into northwest South Dakota. Gusty northwest winds developed late Sunday night and Monday, which brought blowing and drifting snow.
