Today (Oct. 28) is Winter Weather Preparedness Day in South Dakota.
The National Weather Service says winter storms can bring snow, sleet and freezing rain. They say it’s always good to talk about preparedness to make sure everyone knows how to stay safe before, during and after a winter storm.
Blizzards occur when strong wind causes blowing snow and whiteout conditions, making roads impassable. Thousands of people are injured or killed every year in traffic accidents related to slippery roads from winter storms. NWS has collected information from people who have survived winter weather situations. Click this link to read about winter weather survivors.
