Overview
|
A relatively narrow band of early season snow stretched from far southeast South Dakota, into far northwest Iowa and southwest Minnesota on the morning of October 14, 2018. Amounts of 3 to 5 inches were common within the band, with isolated higher totals reported. The cold air mass which aided in producing the snow, also resulted in several record cold high temperatures for the date. |
