If you’re tired of snow and wondering if spring is ever going to get here, you’re not alone. This past weekend, many areas of South Dakota saw their highest snowfall totals ever recorded for the month of April, with some places even reaching their highest levels for the entire season. Dan Moore, a forecaster with the National Weather Service Office in Aberdeen recaps our latest major snow event of the season…

With official blizzard-like conditions impacting most areas of the state, you may be wondering how it’s even possible to take an accurate snowfall reading for a particular area.

As if we haven’t had enough snow already, it appears there may be another weather system moving though the upper Midwest late Tuesday night into Wednesday of this week as Dan explains…

Needless to say, the amount of snow we’ve received thus far this month is well above the average, to say the least…


Although historic late season snow events have been previously recorded in this area in year’s past, nothing on record has compared to what we have experienced so far, this month, and we’re still not done yet!
