Light rain began in the eastern half South Dakota on the morning of the 19th. The rain changed to snow during the afternoon, and continued through the afternoon of the 20th. The winds increased and blizzard conditions were reached by 6pm CST on Wednesday the 19th. The snow was driven by sustained winds 40 to 50 miles per hour, gusting to 75 miles per hour on some occasions, which reduced visibility to less than one half mile. Heavy snow ranging from six to fifteen inches fell over an area southeast of a line from Todd to Aurora to Grant County. Traffic came to a standstill by Wednesday evening the 19th. The snow abruptly ended on the evening of the 20th, but winds diminished rather slowly that night. Storm total snowfalls included 9 inches at Clear Lake and 7 inches at Watertown.
